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?

Copied basic code out of computer magazines, read a DOS 3.1 book cover to cover in the 80s as a kid. Just always drawn to it. Today I wrote some bicep code to allow my dev team to access the key vault in the lower environments but not the upper. I've done Vb6, flash actionscript, objective c, Java, C#, python, C++, SQL, ruby, spingboot, jquery, angular, react, Perl, PHP, VBA, Foxpro, T-SQL, and many other languages.

It's still fun.
