I built my first website on geocities after my friend made one for his band. I was in and out of technical pursuits for a while until I had my first job after college. I did marketing at a tech company and saw how much more interesting the software job was than mine.

I sort of knew how to code and always loved it but had mixed experiences leading me to think it maybe wasn't for me. Luckily I got a bit of encouragement and really didn't like my other job all that much. Once I got over the hump I haven't looked back.
