Nice to see a senior tinkering with modern technology. Would you provide any more context about the "66 Year Old Coder" part: >what did you do professionally?

Nice to see a senior tinkering with modern technology.
Would you provide any more context about the "66 Year Old Coder" part:
>what did you do professionally?
>when did you start programming?
>why start programming at that age - was it boredom, curiosity, need for money, etc.?
- ccarsona 5y agoKeep in mind, the internet did not exist when I started working, so I have lived in two different universes. My first business career was in transportation but at around 38 I got interested in the "Electronic Highway". I have been online since 2000. The first scripting language I learned was Perl. I moved to PHP around 2003 but most of the coding at that time was for in house usage, not public. Around 2010 I developed this desire to learn Python but life and business demands kept getting in the way. And, while I still have a number of accounts I maintain and upgrade, I have more time and thus started learning Python about eight months ago. Money?
