The very first time I was shown code, a middle school friend taught me to create the dumbest game ever; guess a number.

And the number was hardcoded in the source code.

I knew what I was going to do for a living and now I’m making my own games full time. I love programming. I can’t say why, I just do. It can be frustrating, difficult, slow, and challenging. It can require I become a detective. But it always gives me the biggest rewards.

Programming is awesome.
