    I feel this in my soul. I got my first computer when I was 8, and started learning programming when I was 10. When I was 18, I wrote my own Start Menu, because the Windows XP start menu sucked. It was a clone of the OpenSUSE menu for Windows called Open Menu+.

    Now I’m old and I wrote my own email service because all the existing ones sucked. I’m way more comfortable at home on my computer than anywhere else.

    I’m not even sure that I could count how many computers I own. It would probably be considered an addiction if I hadn’t made it my job.

    Oh yeah I still remember that exact time I told my mother that I’m gonna be a gamer forever. Feels like it happened yesterday. Now I can’t even touch a single game cus they all feel boring and I feel as if I’m choking on stale oxygen if I play any game for longer than 10 minutes a day.
