I can't figure out how to prevent 9/11 in 3 words. So, I'll just say "Programming Language: Haskell".
Why?
I wish I learned the lessons from that language 12 years earlier than I did. I still prefer to write personal code in that family of languages, and it made me a better coder even in Java, JavaScript, Python, even C.
Also, that year is actually the first year it was available and my first year in college; it might have focused me enough to actually go to grad school and start a PL research career. I don't know if that would be better, but it would be different.
The people calling out BTC is also a pretty good idea, but I made a little money on BTC, and I'm not sure too much more money would be a positive change in my life. It could be, but I think it might have made me more covetous and more isolated.
But, I often choose to program instead of playing video games these days, so it's clearly something I enjoy, even if I don't currently monetize it.
Thanks for asking.
