 When I saw my first perl script as a 10 year old lad, made a little change to it, discovered I can control what computers do, felt like a god  
 Late ‘95 in the uni library I saw a student editing html in notepad.
Asked him a couple of questions and seeing how easy it was my life was different
 
 i didn’t discover that feeling until my 20’s - can’t imagine what it must be like as a kid 🤯
