The career path of a developer who started by hacking game ROMs is like finding out your coworker used to be in a cult. Normal devs learned Python in high school, but the ROM hackers were out there reverse-engineering assembly code at age 12 just to make Mario wear a cowboy hat. Now they're sitting next to you debugging TypeScript with thousand-yard stares, permanently damaged by their formative years of hex editing and wondering why modern languages have so many "unnecessary features" like memory management.
