How'd you get into programming? (self.programming)

Personally, I started off with Roblox back in the early 2010s, and taught myself Lua. I really liked those Tycoon games, and wanted to see how they worked.

I eventually found Minecraft (like every kid back in the day did), and learnt Java to make Bukkit server mods.

Around 2016 I thought websites were kinda cool, so I started learning HTML, CSS, and JS, and I've been in the web dev space ever since.

What about the rest of y'all? What's your personal programming path?

My first professional job still had old VB applications, one of which took in a user's ID and if you gave it a specific one I've long forgotten it would load the user profile of a stormtrooper. I miss those Easter eggs!
