Answer 1

I was inspired by Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker. They are genius programmers. Both of them started programming very early. They were hackers too!!! I was inspired by them after watching the movie "The Social Network".

Answer 2

The reason that got me into programming is very silly XD. I couple years ago, I used to find urls with plenty of parameters "super cool" I used to wonder why they were like that. I started documenting myself until I stumped upon PHP which was the starting line for me. That's the very reason that got me enrolled in web development. Other than that I have no person in the programming univers that I admire or take as a source of inspiration. bill gates, Zuckerberg are rather entrepreneurs for me than programmers.
