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 was forced to learn HTML as a 9-year-old so I could make sick Pet Pages on Neopets and show off to all my Neofriends.

    (I had 4 years to hone my skills before getting any Neofriends…. Mom wouldn’t send the fax.)
