I'm nearly 50. Been online professionally since about '94.
Chose 'online' as my 'place of work' back then and never looked back.

- AwesomeFaic 7y ago28, at my third job since graduating in '14 but the first where it's a long-term career focused move (and with fair pay based on skills/experience).

Been coding since '04-05
