How it began @notch

I've grown closer and closer to Markus since I first met him to now. Most people think they know about his life, but actually, most don't. He was born on the 1st of June 1975 in Stockholm, Sweden. He began developing programs at age seven and created his first video game at age eight. He mostly worked on text-based adventures until 2005, when he got a job at King.com. Markus started getting recognition in 2011 when his sandbox game, Minecraft came out. He left his job to focus on his new game, which sold over three million copies in the first year and a half. He also got married, but it only lasted a year. Around that time, I came in. I helped mostly on smaller stuff, but eventually got up to Head Developer. He stepped down, not too long ago, and gave his Pocket Edition job to me.
