I took a BASIC class for a week around 2~3rd grade and stopped as I didn't understand English (back in Korea because of RUN command.) 😅.

I was going for an EE (Electrical Engineering) degree in college, which required taking a programming course (Modula-3).

I couldn't stand 4 hour-long EE labs but found myself writing programs for hours and overnight. That's when I thought that it was what I wanted to do.

So I went for a CS degree 🙂.

My first job was a help desk position but a programmer at the company left abruptly so I volunteered to take his position and been programming since then.
