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?

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 POKE them in by hand. I managed to write a screen scrolling routine this way. RAND USR 16514 and 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.
