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?
Yeah, I got a lot of fundamental computer science from Minecraft’s redstone too. Making a 3x3 piston door was basically a work of art haha
Can’t believe how much time I spent as kid squinting at poorly drawn diagrams on the minecraft forums and trying to figure out what the hell I’m supposed to building haha
