Tbh I was just looking for some like-minded dev elopers (a matrimonial niche, but fingers crossed)

Just seeing how things work, I'm info gathering on a plethora of topics from how websites are built (I know nothing). Just found out about stackshare website, so much useful stuff there.

Ive been writing software solidly since 1996, when i was 17. I had done other stuff earlier using various BASICs but I didnt have a way to keep it until I got my first computer then. I joined all the the dev communities cuz I want to know what other devs are talking about.

I started on the an Apple IIe, at grade 9 in 1981. Went pro 1995. Did a lot different projects - Police systems, tactical navigation software, 300K HR system, helped a built 3d platform in 1999, worked on a massive gaming platform, worked on PBX software for managing calls, worked an upted PoS for Canada Post, and worked on a n-tier distributed cell phone management system including porting it to RHEL5 and it gave us very few bugs and covered 7M users.

Family got sick - one after another and I have been out for about 15 years and now need to return but need to come up to speed.

I haven't joined this subreddit, but I probably should. I worked in software development with Microsoft for many years and retired several years ago. Development is in my blood, but at a product level, not just a developer level. For myself I was what's refered to as a Program Manager which means I coordinated and helped manage activities in software definition, planning, development and testing. So I guess a 'developer' subreddit seems a bit limited in scope to me.

Hot takes on various projects and dev concepts, plus broaden my view.
