What got you into coding ? (aside from money) (lemm.ee)

To give some context, I'm a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not "tasted" programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things.

Aside from being a career, I'm curious what got you into coding ?

Seeing my dad show my mom a demo he'd written in assembly on the C-64.

fubo and I might be the same person. I should keep better track of my accounts. /s

But seriously, same here. That C64... There was never anything quite like it before. I still get happy goosebumps when I see the word READY.
