Tonnoman5964yIts totally ridiculous how early parents give electronic devices to their children tbh. -
kovansky4754y@Tonnoman0909 indeed... I hope I won't do that. That's a wish, but we'll see what will happen in reality, because I have a few more years to have children and change my mind for some reason -
Tonnoman5964y@kovansky I noticed it becomes very hard when other parents do it and children are the last of their peers -
Tonnoman5964y@kovansky I can tell you from experience with younger siblings that it's already happening

Lmao I’ve never learned how to program. I’m just winging it and have been able to fool everyone the last 1... -
bananaerror16Everyone be like "I started programming at the age of 2 and my first ever spoken words were “for...each”"....

So, it was kinda a reversed effect?
My parents didn't give me access to computer for a long time, the only option was to play games with my dad. I also didn't have a phone for a quite long. And, when I see what is happening today with the kids that get their first own phone/tablet at age of 4, I am really happy about it.
But, somehow, that made me really interested in what runs all the squares on the screen etc. When I convinced my parents to give me my first laptop — to play Minecraft with classmates — almost the first thing I did after installing the game was searching "how to make a website". I played with some shitty builders, then I discovered HTML (which was :o for me then). Small steps into PHP, then some JS. I really enjoyed it, but PHP gave me headache each time I wrote something bigger (I was writing a super spaghetti code then, I was inexperienced), so I thought of trying something else...
Minecraft plugins!
I fallen in love with Java.
And after that the real journey began.
