First I played video-games all the day. Then I had to fix/upgrade my own PC because I couldn't afford to pay anyone to do it. This got me deeper OS and networking knowledge than the normal user. From building and repairing PCs and building networks for friends came editing configuration files and later writing scripts, first to get things running on my bad machines and then to cheat in games or automating some IRC stuff. Which led to becoming a programmer.

The only thing I knew after school was how to do stuff with computers and playing games, so I did a degree in computer science and worked as a developer.

I didn't really choose to be a developer, I just did it most of my adult and adolescent life and some time people asked if I could code for them and they paid me.

Sadly this led to boring jobs, since I never really searched for anything, I just did what people asked me to do.
