I got a computer when I was 12 or 14. It was a clone of the spectrum, which had to be assembled manually. But I don't remember this period well, because at that time I was only interested in games, and the equipment often failed - the tape recorder from which the programs were recorded spontaneously turned off and had to start process from the beginning. So programming for commodore, spectrum or early pc passed me by.

In 96, I got a full-fledged PC. But of course I didn't program on it, but only played, until I was 19, when I got a job as a sysadmin in one company there I started learning linux on my own. I remember I had a Red Hat 6 distrib and that's how my path in programming began. I had to deal with bash scripts. A little later I started making my first program - it was a knowledge testing for electricans. It used an interface written in Delphi and the main code in Javascript. At that time I was trying to make a cross-platform project and invented my Xulrunner based on the Mozilla browser, while the first version appeared.

Then I got acquainted with Php, Sql. I did work on Foxpro for money, did a little digging with C (remade the game on SDL), worked with Progress ABL, 1C, VBA. did a couple of pet projects in Python

But now somehow it turned out that I work in a bunch of Php/Javascript/Sql/Bash. Recently I wanted to try golang, but I haven't figured out where to apply it for myself yet
