thallosaurus··on Ask HN: What are the reasons behind your success as a self-taught programmer?
My grandfather gave me my first computer when I was a kid at 7.

Ffwd 17 years later and I'm a self-taught full-Stack Web-Developer. I'm wondering where I would have landed if I didn't had a computer back then, maybe in retail, I dont know.
