To give some context, I'm a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not "tasted" programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things.

Aside from being a career, I'm curious what got you into coding ?

True. I usually tell people it is a good field, provided that they have interest. Then the question usually is how to be interested in it, and I just tell them to just be curious about how any app/software that they use works.
