Saw this on hackernews and probably been posted but it's fun. My journey is similar tho it was assembly language on a #c64 in a small isolated rural town with only a library, a warez-supplying school teacher, and a pile of magazines a brother bought second hand. And I didn't know what I was going to do with it, it was just fascinating on it's own.
