How'd you get into programming? (beehaw.org)

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?

I started when I was 7 on an old Amstrad CPC464, together with a book teaching you BASIC. I mainly copy/pasted programs from the book until I learned some basics. It's been programmer's life ever since.

What a trajectory your life can take from one simple child's enjoyment.
