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?
God it was so long ago. I learnt programming on AS/400 mainframes. Started with RPG and IBM C. Hated it and delved into Linux and C programming and just went from there. These days, I can read and do write everything from assembly, C, up to Golang and Python. The language is just a tool to accomplish a goal. I can do a bit of web dev but nothing with the latest and greatest frameworks like react etc. Give me plain HTML/CSS and I can manage though.
