To give some context, I’m a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not “tasted” programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things.

Aside from being a career, I’m curious what got you into coding ?

    Kind of destiny 🤦🏻‍♂️

    I started programming when I was in primary school. And I liked it very much, even though I didn’t understand much even then. But it was impossible to stop and here I am writing this after about 30+ years.

    What exactly attracted me - my father soldered a Russian clone of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, showed me a couple of games loaded from a tape cassette, and I was curious how it works.

      Man, games must be some of the first software children actually get a hold of. It’s also why I got into programming.
