Yeah, I had the exact same problem as OP, except that I didn’t lose my virginity. Also, Gentoo won’t boot.

But hey, there’s no danger on the roof!

I started out with Basic on a computer sporting MS DOS, a Pentium 75 and 16 mb ram! Then I continued down the rabbit hole and discovered HTML and that led to the newly invented JavaScript and here I am today programming full time. I can’t believe it’s only 10 years ago I started out in the 90’s. Right? Guys?

I have a junior colleague like that, he’s even confessed out loud that he chose to become a programmer because he thought it was a good career. He got his first job and immediately realized that he absolutely hated it but by then, according to him, it was too late to change careers, better just power through it.

His code is so sloppy, he always does the bare minimum to get the task done (for example copy and pasting the same code seven times, with bugs, instead of creating a new function), he really doesn’t care. I’ve been assigned to clean up after him so many times it’s not even funny.

Well, in the 90’s I managed to essentially brick two NIC’s by tinkering with the tulip driver on command line. In the distro I used it had to be done manually and I still have no idea as to what happened inside those NIC’s, but they sure didn’t work ever again. Yes, I made the same mistake twice.
