I was into computers as a kid, but in the days before the internet it was harder to really learn how they worked. I ended up doing software installs for a corp.
I had to cover a couple weeks for a coworker on vacation. His job was so tedious I wrote some shell scripts to do as much of it as I could. When he came back I showed him the scripts. Turns out they had a dev team working on that automation. They moved me over to that team and thought me to program so I could work on the project.

Two decades later, I'm still grateful.
