To give some context, I’m a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not “tasted” programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things.

Aside from being a career, I’m curious what got you into coding ?

    For some reason in middle school I tried it and, for obvious reasons, couldn’t figure it out. Then in 2012-2014 Reddit kept telling everyone to learn Python. I failed that and kept trying randomly for 10 years. I’ve only recently begun making progress in web dev, which is deliberately avoided because of Reddit language opinions.

    Ignoring all of that, I really like text editors for some reason, and I’m on a journey to make some. I still haven’t made any, but it’s a goal.
