childhood!
i grew up tinkering with technology. my first computer, which i got when i was around 6, was an i386 dell inspiron laptop (which was already really old by the time i got it) that came with windows vista. the first things i did on it were install games like minecraft and other steam games that were free. i also spent a lot of time playing purble place (the cake making game is so fun!).
some time between 6 and 10 years old, i got upgraded to an hp flexible laptop with windows 8 on it. my dad, having a very avid hatred for windows 8, put windows 10 on it. however, i learned to flash usbs and i put windows 8 back on it (personally i kinda like windows 8). while i had this laptop, i learned to use python (only kind of). however, i wasn't really into coding as much as i was into messing with operating systems.
some time between 10 and 12, i figured out how to run minecraft servers, and that got me into server management. learned to use linux (i use arch btw) and set up docker containers and other linux servers.
