Out of curiosity, how did a lot of you start?

Being as new to this world as I am, I want to know how other people started out in computer sciences or coding. I only started last month, and i decided it's time to find somewhere I can get more help/feedback.
What motivated you to get into this? Where have you gotten with these skills, or see yourself getting with them? What decisions do you regret or not regret making throughout your journey?
