Do you remember your first computer program? Tell me your story. I'll go first. It was when I started learning Python and Fortran in the summer of 2013, after finishing my undergraduate program. Yup — I didn't write my first real computer program until I was 22 years old. And you want to know a secret? I nearly failed my only CS class of undergrad. The reason I nearly failed was because I didn't apply myself. Instead I treated the class like an annoying distraction from my core Physics studies. I remember that I literally paid a dude to do one of my CS assignments for me. Can you believe that? It wasn't until that summer of 2013 that I started to fall in love with programming. I remember the feeling of getting my code to run, and seeing the terminal outputs race down my screen. I remember learning to use vim and ssh into remote servers. It felt like magic. Like I'd opened a door to a new world. It felt powerful. Since then, times have changed. But there's still plenty of magic in the air. Welcome to my coding club. Let's make some more magic together.
