> Also surprised they did programming in high school, especially back then... I guess my school just sucked compared to others... My HS didn't have programming classes either (although they were added the year after I graduated) and that that was I the 2010s. I took a networking course that would have yielded certs, but they decided to scrap that path when I was a senior.
