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?

  • God it was so long ago. I learnt programming on AS/400 mainframes. Started with RPG and IBM C. Hated it and delved into Linux and C programming and just went from there. These days, I can read and do write everything from assembly, C, up to Golang and Python. The language is just a tool to accomplish a goal. I can do a bit of web dev but nothing with the latest and greatest frameworks like react etc. Give me plain HTML/CSS and I can manage though.
