2) In 1972 the community college near me had public accounts available to any person who walked in off the street and said they wanted one. Learned APL from a used textbook.
3) Was working a comm tech at a finance company (also self-taught btw) and started using computers + code I wrote to solve problems at work. Had been coding for fun at home on Apple ][, C/PM and Mac. Figured I could be coding for a living, so left and found work programming. Been doing it professionally since 1987.
