Interestingly, I was a computer nerd since age 7. I found it fascinating to explore every possible setting in windows 95, and I got involved in hosting my own servers for gaming.

So I dove deep into configuration, but whenever I saw any code, I would immediately close the window.

It wasn't until my freshman year in college (age 18), when I took my first CS course and pierced the veil underneath. Wish I had done so earlier.
