>How did you start programming?

My parents bought the family a Tandy Color Computer 3 (which I still have, decades later). I used it mainly to learn math and play games. Then I found a programming manual that I think came with it... I still have this book as well. I started reading it and following the examples... met a guy that lived down the road that was into programming also... and we started writing code together.... which I also still have and it blows my mind. lol

>Why did you start programming?

Couldn't run around in the woods when it was raining, eventually found myself indoors most of the time spending my hobby into a profession.
