How Did You Get Your Start in Coding?
Matt Sutter is engineering director at Etsy. He got his start in computer science as a teenager playing Lord of the Rings-themed MUDs on Telnet. When he was 16, he became one of the coders for that game and learned about software development through this volunteer opportunity. At 29, he tried to get a job but didn't make any money from it so decided to go back to college where he studied computer science.
