Highschool dropout w/ GED here.

I started learning how to code from trying to make game mods around age 10. This was mostly UnrealScript + Lua for SecondLife.

Got an internship at a web dev shop when I was 18. They primarily did SaaS startup launches. There was a lot of trial-by-fire. Picked up frontend + backend + DevOps skills there.
