Bill Gates big win was his mum worked in Stanford(?) library/lab so he had unfettered access to a PC for weeks on end vs CS majors who had a couple hours a week.
Just occured to me that this was how I ended up in my career.
My Mum was a teacher at Forest Hill Boys School and had access to a computer in the mid 1980s. I taught myself to code on it in 1987 while waiting for my Mum to finish work in the evenings. I was 7 at the time.
Didn't get my own computer until the early 90s, when one of my father's colleagues gifted us an old Amstrad.
