Comment on What got you into coding ? (aside from money)

When I first got daily access to internet (back in 2009), I got curious about how programs are built. Like, if I wanted to make my own application, what should I do?
I googled something along that direction and it linked me to a famous french website for learning programming (site du zéro) where I learnt C language.
After the course I made a 2D Snake game with SDL2 and, although tedious, it was super fun to do. So I sticked with it and continued programming :)

similar story here, just that little me wrote his snake program with windows forms. Every element of the game was a button. I remember the first versions beeing so inefficient (rebuilding the whole UI that was made of loads of small buttons every few milliseconds) that my Intel core 2 duo couldn’t run it properly. Good times.
