I have been through the same! :)<p>Back in high school when I started programming with the LAMP stack I was totally hooked. I spent most of my first two years in high school doing the same. As I entered my third year I was kind of burned out and wanted to try something new. I shifted my focus towards doing other cool stuff. There was still that tinkerer in me who wanted to break and fix things.<p>One thing that kept my interest was my desire to break and fix things without thinking about the outcome.<p>My email is in my profile if you want to talk. :)
