I wish someone showed me something like Scratch when I was younger.

I didn't even get a computer I could mess with until I was like 15. We had a family pc for maybe 6 months in the 90s and I played like, magic school bus, lol.

I really started programming in HS when someone showed me what a function was, that was an epiphany moment. Before that I just liked to build computers and servers; I was hosting HTML sites from our house in 7th grade I think? But still not programming.

I also wish I listed to some rando telling me the money was in C++. I did PHP for too long.
