I went to an interview for an internship which turned out to be mostly soft skills interview. When asked if I've done some programming I lied "yes".

They gave me 2 weeks to develop a POS application in java.

After the interview I went to the store bought a computer and started googling.

I got the internship :)
Thats how I got into programming.

How I learned to love it:
After some time, I realized that for every other engineering discipline you need to invest a lot in order to try things out, experiment, innovate...
With software you can pretty much do anything. The possibilities are limmitless.
