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 ?

    my mum bought me a vic-20. it was beat up and didn’t have a tape deck.

    I had type my games in from a magazine in basic for a summer, I was hooked.

    My uncle gave me a photocopy of a book about assembly for c64 and showed me intros on his c128. He had no idea about programming, he just figured I’d be into it. I worked my heart out to get the cash together for a c64 AND a disk drive.
