It was also a pure accident that I started programming at all. This was 2007, I had inherited an old Windows 95 computer that was recycled from my Mom's law office where she was a paralegal. She let me rig it up in my bedroom as a teenager and I somehow discovered it came with QBasic 1.1 installed on it. I didn't know anyone who coded or programmed, and I learned everything from browsing around Pete's. I later discovered Python from the same forum, and well- I'm still coding 12 years later.
