$$$... well that's not entirely true. I got into web programming specifically in the days you could "get paid" while surfing. In the process, I learned about web hosting via Geocities/Tripod/etc. and at the time I was using Frontpage to code up a site that was basically full of banner ads to get referrals. In the beginning I learned a lot from viewing the source of other sites and essentially copying and modifying. To this day I still learn a lot from other "smarter" developers via open source, articles, code samples, etc.
But I will say I got hooked early on and always enjoyed the process. Plus programming helped me progress with the evolution of the web and it continues to change which has its challenges but continues to be an enjoyable ride.
