Not sure if this is a common story for most programmers or maybe me and the author have same personality traits. Back in the Delphi 6 days I was 16, with no internet access I started learning about programming. It all began by reading an article of how to write assembly code in Delphi. Had no idea what it meant, but it was interesting. So I've started. 12 months forward I had made my first "commercial" product - Power Crypt. A Windows application allowing to encrypt / decrypt files. It as written in Delphi, had a single class of ±5000 LOC and used open source cryptography library. Main selling point was that it encrypted a file not by using a single algorithm, but with all (about 10 or even more) the algorithms the OS library had implemented. Thus making it more secure :-)
