My first introduction to web development was in a summer of 2012 internship at HP. I used Bootstrap and... jQuery Charts I think? to make an internal dashboard that would visualize data dumped out of a SQL database (it was also my first introduction to SQL, and to ASP.NET).
The server-side code would just scrape the entire dataset and dump it directly into the client-side script as one big array, lol. And then the UI could filter and narrow the data from there. It was goofy, but it worked.
My love for the web began there, and Bootstrap honestly contributed to my experience. Aesthetics are important to me, and the fact that I could so easily make something that looked nice was really gratifying. I haven't really used Bootstrap for anything else since then - I quickly fell in love with and got comfortable with handwritten CSS - but I'm glad it was there at the start.
