At what age did you notice you’re into tech? What cues were there, and what was your first personal project?

i didn't have a computer at home until my sophomore or junior year of high school (so like 2002ish) and my lack of access to tech stifled my interested for some time. i did take computer science my senior year and i was full speed ahead since then.

my first personal project was a weezer fan site i made in geocities. it ended up on the fan page list on weezer.com and forum users called it "pretty good for a geocities site"

you can probably wayback machine it, my yahoo/geocities username was jennlikesweezer :D

Glad you did that course! Thanks Jenn for all your dedication. It helps make the tech world a funnier and a bit less toxic place ❤
