I didn't really get into coding before HS. By chance we had this elective class called "Java Programming", where the teacher showed us a bunch of applets which piqued my interest.
Our very first "real" program was some local network chat system, which I found extremely fascinating - because I had suddenly gone from writing a bunch of terminal/CLI programs which felt a bit...boring, to writing something which felt like "proper" software.
