GoKawiilDeveloper recounts coding origins in personal essay 'Why I Am a Programmer'
A programmer has published a personal essay recalling his childhood introduction to computing, describing a neighborhood where owning a computer was risky and kids secretly traded pirated games on floppy disks. The piece opens with a quote from 1990s demoscene figure Denthor of Asphyxia about the allure of writing demos, framing the author's own path into programming.
