how much programming experience did you have at 14, /g/?

At that age I knew some BASIC we learned on a TRS-80 in school.

None, I was busy slayin.

I've never known any alpha kids to be into computers besides minecraft or tablets/phones..

Learned some assembly from the Peter Norton book.
I was haxxoring gaymes with DEBUG.

Something similar to that kid. Except it was just JS, PHP and some languages for kids(think scratch). I didn't program anywhere nearly as much in "real languages" as I did in Expression 2 and others in Gmod at that age. The hundreds of hours spent programming, even in a meme language without functions, do teach you a lot.

That was 1995 and I already could program in :
C,
diverse dialects of Basic
Logo
and some Forth

but I was slayin monsters in RPGs

those can run concurrently so in all he started at 10 by creating a neocities website, then at 12 he opened up unity and messed about for an hour, then opened inspect element a few months later

>>106351391 (OP)
At 14 I already had a program published in a computer magazine available internationally. Adults and a few nerds at school were impressed. Girls thought computers were stupid. Now they're addicted to them.

none of it matters. what matters is maintaining motivation and completing what you start. very few maintain motivation. think john carmack who made doom and quake. there were others alive at the time who knew what he knew, there were others who knew more than he knew. but still, he still was first.

I learned to program in Java by making Minecraft mods with Forge at 13

So if you were to enter and start learning stuff like c#, rust, and kotlin now would you never catch up to this kid’s level?

I got into programming, electronics and hardware reverse engineering at around 8, a year after Pokemon Red and Blue were released in Europe.

I just really wanted to know how that happened.

Eventually got around studying computer science and chemistry =)

I had some experience with C++ because that was the standard at the time
I even made some shitty video games that I played with my friends
It was a better time I actually had ideas and wasn't demoralized by my ineptitude yet

i wish my dad was like this. but my parents both work at shitty jobs and make $35k combined

>>106356812
now that's a privilege i think everyone should have and really shouldn't cost any money... but it is probably idealistic to think parents can be better

I also had 2 years of web dev in my 14 years. Meaning I used some wysiwyg software and made web pages that can be hardly called "websites"

I wrote some batch files in middle school

When I was 10 I wanted a Super Nintendo.
I was given an Atari 800 XL and a thick book with pages of arcade games in basic.
I learned how things worked as a wrote and tested clones of Galatians, Centipede, Pac Man, and Gauntlet.
Eventually, about age 14, I got a used Atari ST and I kept at it. Eventually I got a proper PC when Doom was released. I spent the next 20 years obsessed with doom and making my own maps. I never progressed past Doom. Now I am 42 and I never progressed past BASIC and DOS or Doom. And I still play doom. And I hate the term “boomer shooter” so get the fuck off my lawn

Deloitte is a shithole.
I wouldn't work there for any amount of money.
It's one of these companies where the company culture is to stay as late as possible doing unpaid overtime to prove how good you are.
Everyone there is brainwashed like in a cult and thinks this is a good thing.

I wrote my own game engine when I was 14 during a summer camp. Spent 3 months playing Starcraft, coding c++ with the boys, and speedrunning Cave Story.
Now I work in a grocery store for minimum wage and drink alchy all day :)

It's no exactly rocket science and with LLMs it's even easier to get into. It's not like decades ago where your parents had to be rich enough to blow money on a good computer to even let you do this.

>>106362257
there's plenty of American companies this way
it's not just a Japanese thing
it depends on the sector mainly but also in the specific company culture
stuff like investment banking is the absolute worst
tech is one of the best sectors when it comes to work life balance culture

sometimes its better to not have involved parents.

70% of whites have parents that might as well be black for how little they are involved in their children's lives.

Answer from squid:
>hello, squid here. its interesting to see the comments on this and i really like the stories of how you people have started programming, makes me feel like a fetus xd.
>i started at a young age, but it was really slow going. when i mention languages in my bio, its mostly things im learning and had to keep concise (stating my actual experience in rust would be very minimal compared to java). also, a lot of >the languages i deemed easy enough yet it was good for simple conversations so people understood about who i am.
>no, its not a resume. i just want likeminded friends :)

>as for people concerned about me being a computer individual at a young age, i had a tiny little thinkpad for so long and had arch on it before i was 11. i find learning as a really enjoyable thing, especially computers.

>p.s. (i dont know how to reply to specific comments on here), Premium and Media Partner were given to me; premium is just no ads and media partner was for me editing a few videos. in no way have i sold myself out (i dont make money from it)

I did html for my school district and got paid for it

I know this guy and I can certainly say that:
- he is ok at kotlin, only beginner level
- sucks at java and uses chatgpt for anything
- c# is arguable
- hasn't done any reverse engineering at all
- "web dev" is actually just CSS
here's some extra notes unrelated to the image:
- attention seeker (threatening to suicide, using friends' suicides for attention, faking autism)
- toxic kid with big ego
- dickrides a pedophile (ironically, but has said that he wants to get groomed)
- and big liar too

>>106367639
ok faggot you next

i know this guy and I can certainly say that:
- he is ok at kotlin, only beginner level though
- sucks at java and uses chatgpt for anything
- c# is arguable
- the closest thing to reverse engineering he has done is opening a Minecraft jar file in winrar
- "web dev" is just CSS

>>106367981
and if he has any proficiency in social skills, he'll be successful.

Honestly I regret the time spent getting Linux to work way more than the time wasted on games.
When I was 14 I'd spend some time reading about science and history though, still do even if I earn nothing from it.

hes actually pretty ok at c#, ive worked with him on a c# project before (cheat for a unity game) and he was actually pretty decent at c#

At 14 was when I started using /g/. Technically I've been programming since I was 12, but I started actually programming bigger projects that being projects with more than 1K LoC at age 18 (now I'm 20). For most of my time I've been doing POSIX shell and Python scripts, it was only relatively recently that I started learning some programming languages more seriously. Before that I thought I was the galaxy brain in person for having fiddled around in a few languages a bit, but never done anything actually non-trivial. Now I realize most of the time I should have stuck to two or three languages and git gud at them to a degree where you can confidently say you now them in and and out; this is a much more valuable skill than thinking you've seen everything for knowing how to write fizzbuzz in every language conceivable.

They also ruin other companies. They and investment firms taking over companies to take them private and bleed them dry are destroying the American business world. That Cracker Barrel shit has consultants using ChatGPT all over it.
