To give some context, I'm a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not "tasted" programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things.

Aside from being a career, I'm curious what got you into coding ?

My introduction or what got me intrested was Farming Simulator 2009 when I was 10.

The game had amazing mod support and I found out that each mod, like a new tractor, had a modDesc.xml file in it that contained values like in-game price, name of the tractor, fuel tank volume, ... .And I found out that changing these values would change these values in game, which made me feel like an absolute hackerman.
