To give some context, I’m a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not “tasted” programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things.

Aside from being a career, I’m curious what got you into coding ?

    A friend dragged me into an extracurricular competitive programming when we were in school. Had to code in Pascal, of all languages.

    Funny thing is, the first session was full to the point of people having to stand, a month or two later only 3 people attended, and that’s when it stopped.
