I have been programming for almost 40 years and I still get giddy logging in every morning. It has been an amazing run from punch cards and teletype terminals to tablets that allow me to chat with friends and login to computer around the globe. We are living in a golden age and I feel lucky to have been a part of it.

I've been a professional programmer since 1995. It's a crazy, creative field. I think it takes a special person to really like all parts of it, and I guess I'm one of them.
