Why did you choose programming?

I needed a job. Apparently companies don't want people with physics degrees, they want people who code in php, python and Javascript.

Spent years learning quantum mechanics and advanced mathematics for nothing.

I enjoyed this

This is exactly why

Because I always wanted to be a magician.

If you didn't end up as a quant at wall street, you were a mediocre physicist.

>Being bullied
You must be a little bitch, OP.
Not everyone is a fag like you; I just program because I find it fun.

>Why did you choose programming?
Because it's fun. That's pretty much the whole story.

Because my elementary school had some old fucking TRS computers with LOGO on them, and I fell in love.

Its fun

I wanted to apply greater ideas even if simulation.

Still being held back by petty politics and meager bullshit.

Arch with drivers for my weefeedongle and drivers for my gpu when?

>play runescape
>want to make a videogame
>do some shitty story games in power point
>fast forward 4 years
>friend shows me Game Maker
>skip a lot of classes in the computer lab making shitty games
>realize that actually writing the code (in GML) is easy and straightforward

And that's where I got hooked.
Sadly I didn't have a computer of my own for about 7 years so only recently did I start doing it for real

i wanted to make vidya gamez
