Full time since ~2011 (but started part-time in 2007).
What would I do differently:
Skip my second Master degree (Marketing and Management).
While somewhat helpful, it had a significant opportunity cost.
Instead I should have focused on programming from the beginning and moving to the US sooner (~1998).
Join startup (preferably Google :-)) as early as I can.
Create my own startup with other founders (not solo).
