While I was an economics student, I somehow landed a job to build out an elevator monitoring system at my college. Figured out that terminal emulators could connect to the elevator controller and that the output spec was called Wyse-60. My first "professional" program was written in Python using ncurses to parse the serial output [0].
The program is very cringe but it was my best attempt at the time as I couldn't find any literature on terminal emulators (what actually happened was that I didn't know what to search for)
Anyways, I've successfully pivoted my career away from economics and into software development which was the goal when I took the job in college.
