Kind of destiny ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
I started programming when I was in primary school. And I liked it very much, even though I didn't understand much even then. But it was impossible to stop and here I am writing this after about 30+ years.
What exactly attracted me - my father soldered a Russian clone of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, showed me a couple of games loaded from a tape cassette, and I was curious how it works.
Man, games must be some of the first software children actually get a hold of. It's also why I got into programming.
