I was literally born into it — my parents met working at a software company and quit to start their own out of their apartment in the early 80s.
My dad started using computers in the early 60s at Berkley to do Mathematical Psychology for his Architecture PhD. His father started using computers as a naval officer in the early 50s, I think related to bomb testing when they lived on Kwajalein Atoll. My mother started programming in high school where she had dialin teletype access to a PDP to do her homework. Her stepmother started a little bit later when she took an office manager job at an early hosted multitenant accounting software company and worked her way up to being its CEO as a pc software company, and after it was acquired by a very large public software company was a VP there for a few years before retiring.
I'm a third-generation software guy on both sides of the family. What else would I do?
