Like most nerdy kids, the first thing I tried to code was a game. There’s something about creating a thing that reacts to a human’s inputs in an interesting and engaging way that has always been thrilling for me, and the first time I got pixels moving around on a screen, I was hooked.
I had a competing love for music though, and I decided to chase that dream as far as I could while I was still young, and thought that the only way to do that was to go “all in”. So my love for writing code was mostly put on the back burner for about 15 years. During that time, I would occasionally get a wild hair and start a project, which I would almost never complete.
