how did people here learn programming? interested in hearing your journey from discovery of programming to now.

Facebook _royally_ fucked us. I work in publishing and when Fuckbook pulled and refocused their resources elsewhere, we're left high and dry. And to think, these companies (including Google) would wine and dine you, give you tours and food at their regional and local HQs to make you feel "important", and how important the "partnership" will be for both. In my country, social media penetration is above 80% and Fuckbook is king. Thanks to these assholes, we lost half of our traffic and dipping due to readers avoiding news altogether. Google, doing it's usual thing, pushing AMP then abandoning it. Fuck these assholes.
