Actually I’m jealous. I was a microwave engineer and program manager but my true love was computer programming. No formal training but self taught starting way back with punched tape, Basic and a GE Time Share. We designed microwave amplifiers using that setup.
These days it’s a hobby. A little PHP and some Visual Basic and JavaScript. Building websites with Drupal/MySQL and Business Systems with Microsoft Access and Visual Basic.
And, not to worry about Trump. If he gets his 1237 he will have my vote.
What gets me today is that the technology changes so fast that if you learn a new language/script, it becomes obsolete in a few years. I tried staying current, but gave up. I have been a C/Unix developer for about 20 years. During that time, I learned Java, not really in demand anymore. I learned numerous scripting languages, which have seemed to give way to Ruby. I even learned Objective C. It’s now on the way out. Make room for Swift. LOL. The good thing is once you learn a concept, its not too hard to relearn it in another language.
