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?
BASIC and eventually Z-80 asm on the Sinclair ZX-81. I didn’t have an assembler so I had to translate the instructions on paper and
POKEthem in by hand. I managed to write a screen scrolling routine this way.RAND USR 16514and all that.Some other Z-80 micros after that and then PCs and jumped on the Linux train pretty early on, been riding that since.
