My first dev job wasn't even a dev job. I was a hobby programmer since aged 11, and I got a job in a computer centre in my mid-20's. With 3 other folk we were looking after the mainframes, networks & installing these new fangled PC things ;) The boss was discussing a new software they were looking to purchase & I said we could do it in the department. One of my colleagues was also a keen programmer. My boss pitched it to his boss and, well, we ended up writing it :-)
