Did you take stuff apart as a kid to figure out how it works? Looking back it seems obvious that I would become a dev.
I can relate to the it felt super natural. At a certain point I felt like i could build anything I wanted to exist if I decided to do it.

Did you take stuff apart as a kid to figure out how it works?
I was more of a math kid than anything, but I did love legos and model building. I was doing a lot of math problems by programming routines in Basic on my calculator and didn't realize I was programming until I started studying computer science. I did find myself taking random devices apart later. There are so many magnets in everything.
It took being an adult to discover my programming related interests. My parentally provided environment was nationally competitive team sports, so I was kind of unfed intellectually on the programming front until adulthood.
