He runs a dog business. Probably best using pen and paper... or microsoft office... definitely not custom code.
- braymundo 9y agoI don't know, man... My girlfriend is a psychologist and I built a small Python program to generate reports using python-docx based on input from standard tests. It was a small project that took me 2 months and was pretty fun (and I work with support, not development). My point being: one can find neat problems to solve anywhere, spend a few weeks, have fun and end up with something to show.
