How'd you get into programming? (beehaw.org)

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?

Grew up playing videogames and always wanted to make my own. Didn't really click for me until I was able to take AP Computer Science in highschool in 2014. Now I'm aiming to finish up my PhD in CS with a focus on ML and CV.
