25 here, Python newbie (less than a year, I think).
I'm sad that nobody else in this thread has spoken in hushed, reverent
tones about my gateway drug, LogoWriter. I was 10 when my fifth grade
math class went to the school computer lab and made the turtle crawl
around the screen. From there, QBasic, C++, C-because-school-made-me,
Java-because-work-made-me, Python-to-save-me. ;)
Handy tip: if you were anything like me, _don't_ go back and try to read
your old code. I had variable names like "qwer" "qwert" and "qwerty",
alongside classics like "a", "b" and "c."
*Shudder*
