I learned to program :-)

I've always been curious and somewhat technically inclined, but also the guy that would put on a tie (I can actually do three different tieknots and a bowtie...) and go out and swing my arms madly around until someone pitied me enough to invest in or buy whatever I happened to be selling at the time. Worked pretty well too.

Then I started coming here, and realised that there was so much I didn't know, and that if I could learn it I would have a much easier time creating good products. Instead of the whole arm-swinging business to convince someone to program something for me I could just learn how to do it myself!

And so I did. And I realised that I should have done so ten years ago.

So thanks a lot, and sorry for all the silly questions.
