1978, the year I first touched a computer as a kid (8 years old).

I've kept every single computer for which I've ever written software.

I literally grew up with the industry as a deeply rooted philosophical subject that has nourished my life in so many ways - and detracted from it in as many ways too.

There is still so much to learn, and I never will learn everything I ever wanted to know. But I've come a long way since and there are millions of people, literally, whose lives I have touched with my code. That is a good thing.

Probably going to keep at it for another 10 or maybe 20 years, professionally. But I'll be coding until I die.
