One of my favorite computer games growing up was Myst. (check it out)
Part of what drew me in was the unfolding storyline that explained this unique skill of Atrus to write books and by doing so, create real worlds that he could transport to, with real beings he could interact with.
That's probably why one of the main things that drew me to coding was the ability to create something (virtually) from nothing. The fact that I could write a bunch of symbols and create a web page or an application was incredible and it still brings a smile to my face... even if I'm doing it more with AI now!
How about you? What drew you to coding?
