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?

Waterfall project management etc.

It's interesting you experienced this too, when I was in uni (2014ish) we were taught both waterfall and agile, but they made a point that a lot of businesses will prefer waterfall and that agile isn't professional.

Professionally, I've literally never seen anyone say they want or prefer waterfall project management.

This was a UK university well known for its programming and computing, too.
