many years ago, my nazi father told me to go learn C++ as my first programming language if i ever want to be a big boy and make money.
a few years later, my conservative gamer uncle told me to learn Visual Basic if i ever want to be a big boy and make money.
a week after that, my gay hippie cousin (not the autistic gradle core dev who i never really got to talk to) told me to learn python if i want to actually learn programming.
1.5 years after the third incident, i fell in love with a girl over twitter when i was 16 and she ended up teaching me programming because we found out through me accidentally doxxing her that we only lived 10km apart in the middle of fucknowhere of lower bavaria. she started with x86 assembly, went over to the foundations of C, then we installed arch linux on my laptop together and then she let me do my own shit. and i will be forever grateful to her.
the first language that i actually mastered after that was Nix, because it revolutionized most of what i did until then.
