Everyone has a story. What was the thing that pulled you into technology?
For me it was video games, which is probably the most common answer. I was about 12, we got a second-hand PC, and I became obsessed with why games worked the way they did. Started trying to mod things, then trying to understand the file formats, then found a basic web development tutorial and realised I could make things appear on a screen just by typing text. That was it.
First "real" thing I built was a terrible Neopets fansite in raw HTML. No CSS, tables for layout, everything misaligned. I thought it was incredible.
What about you? Was it a specific moment, a person, a game, a class?
