What Made You Fall in Love With C++—and What Almost Made You Quit?

This is a great opportunity to share your life story as a C++ programmer: how you started, why you chose C++, what your first impressive project made purely for fun was, and what kind of job you do.

You can share all of that here!

I would also love to hear the criticism—the days when you wanted to escape from boring CRUD and API projects, as well as the happiest days of your life when you finally got the chance to work on your dream job.
