This is random, but did anyone get interested in programming due to Furcadia?

I played it in late elementary school and you could write your own levels -- I think they were called "dreams" -- that people could visit with all kinds of conditional logic.

You know how as a kid you'd sometimes daydream about your future? I daydreamed that I would later become a computer programmer and be able to look back and my messing around in Furcadia was my start. For some reason I thought being a programmer was a fancy job that was somehow out of reach.

Now I'm a computer programmer... and yeah, tooling around with computers in the 90s was my "start."
