The first language I learned was BASIC at the age of 12 (in the 90s). We didn't have a PC at home, so I just learned it by reading a book. That was the main reason my family was convinced to buy a PC after all. After that, I kept coding because I really liked solving puzzles and building things. To me, libraries and APIs were like pieces of LEGO that you could use to create your own contraption. Probably the most exciting coding moment was when I figured out how to use interrupt 33h to add mouse functionality to my games!
