I started at the age of 12 too. It was 36 years ago :) No IT schools at that time here, no internet, no Youtube, no Google, no Udemy. Staryed with Basic and ZX80 assembler on ZX48 Spectrum. Modems and phone BBSes came later, then Windows 3 on 13 diskettes, Altavista and Yahoo before Google. Netscape 1.0 before IE. Then ADSL was considered fast. From 386, 486 to my first Pentium 80 Mhz with staggering 8MB of memory amd 60 GB drive. Nokia was associated with monitors, mobile phones were not a thing yet. Then Slackware 3 Linux, all Windows numbers, Perl, PHP, Classic ASP, websites in MS FrontPage before Dreamweaver. Ill stop there, in 90ies with the story :) But never stopped learning since 12. And never stopped having fun.
