Wow, our stories are shockingly similar!

Started at the same age, also learned programming mostly through SecondLife Lua and other game scripting.

I often wonder how much moddable/scriptable games have contributed to the developer pool.

went on a walk through the park while meeting a dev from finland the other day, we both talked about how SecondLife, Gary's Mod, HL, minecraft, roblox, etc were all catalysts for us and our friends getting into programming aha. It felt really nice being able to tinker and experience new ways to play with friends.
