Come to think of it, SQL has basically been my gateway into tech too. At one non-tech job, I used MS Excel's built-in SQL engine, MS Query, to basically implement an upsert. At another, I used MS Access to build a pricing calculator application and pricing SQL scripts which reduced hours-long processes into instants. Now as a Scala developer, my team has actually decided to use PostgreSQL, and I'm still in the process of trying to convince them to fully embrace SQL instead of just using it as a dumb cache to ease memory pressure on our backend.
