I switched from Windows to Mac in 2009 for professional reasons and the Mac software landscape at the time was far from what it is today. I got very keen on getting some tried and true Windows software to work on Mac which in some cases led me to discover half-baked open source software solutions that barely worked and were unmaintained. I guess this was the first time I thought to myself: "Gosh, wouldn't it be nice to know how to program." I taught myself C at the age of 25 and approached a computer science degree shortly afterwards. That open source software is still unfixed but I'm glad it sent me down this path.
