Maybe ironic but I wouldn’t be where I am without Windows APIs.

I was 19, and I was a member of some forums where folks shared knowledge on how to (ab)use various technologies for profit; many of these technologies were Web-based. I didn’t know any Web programming, but I knew VB.NET from some community college courses (with some fundamentals from high school) and I figured out how to drive this browser and interact with pages.

This allowed me to automate various Web interactions and make a few bucks writing code, which eventually led to my current career as a professional software developer.

I was getting paid (not much lol) to build apps before I knew either of brands like “port” but I hope that, no matter how much money is in the table, y’all feel good about every deal! Respect
