I was around 15 years old at that time. I remember reading this article[0] from Wired, it was probably the first time I've read an article so long and so technical without stopping. I couldn't grasp everything 100%, but every detail sounded so fascinating I kept reading and researching about. It was the first time I felt like "wow, those guys, those security researchers, I wanna be one of them". It really opened my eyes to how computer software can be complex, political, puzzling and how an "antivirus" company operates in the backstage. I still remember that one single article as a pivotal point in my life, making me look at software engineering as a career that could also be fun.
