I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
First started with Racket (a Scheme dialect) more than 15 years ago, though I couldn't write a line of code in it today if my life depended on it without having the documentation to look through.
The first time I did any even remotely serious coding though (that is, coding for reasons other than just trying to learn how computers work) was about 10 years ago when I first learned Lua, C, AVR assembly, MSP430 assembly, and then finally Python (in that order, over the course of about 6 months).
I was around 15 when I decided I wanted to be a video game dev, I had a friend in college that had dev lessons. I asked to get his notes and started with Pascal (quickly switched to C).
Tech Director | Backend, Ops and Technical Communication at North Kingdom | Ex creative coder climbing up (serverless, IAC) and down (operating systems, c) the stack.
I am a fullstack developer specialized in frontend technologies like reactjs. I also love programmimg in go. Currently im working on https://stormkit.io to make developers lives easier.
Urban legend, former IMDb editor, conference speaker, Seattle CoderDojo organizer. Love finding inspiration in dev tools and products, then sharing it with dev communities.

I'm a professional PHP, Python and Javascript developer from the UK. I've worked with Django, Laravel, and React, among others. I also maintain a legacy Zend 1 application.
Started with good old Python2.7.
My first program was:

It would have been a very minimalist implementation of BASIC. I'm not even sure it supported GOSUB.
Matlab
printf("hello world from C");
Started with C++ on Code::Blocks 😅

actionscript 1.
C
printf("Hello world");Visual Basic 6.0 🙄
I started with Pascal in high-school!
Technically Python 2 was the first I wrote code with, but the first language I actually learnt was VB.net.
Action script 3
In my case it was Javascript and PHP. That was almost 18 years ago.
Pascal!
BASIC on an Apple II.
My first program was :
cout<<"Hello World";
Can you detect the language 😉
Console.log("Hello World ")
Locomotive BASIC, back in the 80's, but I then didn't program for nearly 20 years. In 2008 I learned Python.
My first 2 languages were C and assembly.
I really wanted to become some kind of hardware engineer so I started by learning how the iron works.
At the end I become a web developer.
