I made a couple thousand when I was 14 making and selling cheats for online games. I blew most of it on games and computer parts, which were things that as a kid from a poor family I would have never been able to have otherwise.

I’m not proud of the mayhem that my cheats caused, but it was a defining moment in my life - I learned a lot and soon started doing small jobs for various companies, starting a career in software before I was even an adult.
