I grew up as a programmer - starting aged 7 back in 1983... and the tech grew with me. Faster and faster processors, increasingly more storage, improving graphics capabilities, the advent of the web. Overall, a superb time to be learning.
It's been a blast, and the exposure to so many different technologies with all their associated limitations has given me a deep understanding of programming.
All our mistakes are part of the learning process, and allow us to grow. The culmination of all my failures and successes made me the developer I am now.

If I went back, I wouldn't change a thing
Wow, must be amazing to be in tech since like the very beginning 😯 Sounds so interesting!
Hardly "the very beginning", but I've certainly seen a lot of change
