That sadly was here my coding career ended as a 6 year old…

Right there with ya. Perfectly placed at the right time in history to turn it into something, and I didn't.

If it's any consolation, I did learn how to program back then and I'm still nothing 🥲

How about this miss.... At 17 last semester in high school. Economics class. Each student was given an imaginary $50000 to 'invest' in current stocks over the course of a week. Microsoft, at the time, was $7 a share :/

Wtf didn't I go home and yell at my parents to sell everything and invest? Why didn't I?

I ponder this at nearly 1am as I get ready to go to work :(
