  1. Windows, Mac, or Linux?
  2. Mechanical keyboards?
  3. How old were you when you started programming?
  4. First programming language?
  5. Favorite programming language?
  6. Most hated programming language?
  7. Vim or Emacs (or other terminal editors)?
  8. IDE or terminal workflow?
  9. Favorite/current terminal emulator?
  10. Favorite shell?
  11. Current project?
  12. Proudest project?
  13. What do you listen to while programming?
  14. What language should they teach in schools?
Feel free to suggest more questions if I left out something obvious.
