What do you do for work?

@SW-User no way?! I'm actually thinking about studying to be a software developer

@LikeTheSun do it. But don't think that it's easy, because it's not (and to be honest it is getting more and more difficult), but at least it pays well. ;)

@SW-User I'll remember that 👌🏿How long have you been a software engineer?

@LikeTheSun how long? Look I'm 41 this year, and my father bought our family's (my) first computer in 1983 or 1984, which was a Commodore 64. I started basic programming on that when I was in elementary school, but I started to do programming for living when I was a Junior at the university in the late 90's. Before that I started to learn programming in C language when I was in the secondary school, it was somewhere in the mid 90's...

@SW-User 😲that's actually really cool! you've been doing this longer than I've been alive..

What do you like most about your job?

@LikeTheSun to solve the variety of problems and to get know new fields of IT year by year. I mean I started to program C back in the 90's, then Perl and PHP, later Java and now JavaScript. I know dozens of technologies and frameworks related to my job, including virtual machines, server management, network administration, and so on... So I like that I can be the "Jack of all trades".

@SW-User wow that's very impressive. Do you know python?

@LikeTheSun I'm pretty good at mentoring people. :)

@SW-User lol I tried to shoot my shot and then got nervous last minute 😅.

I would really appreciate having you as my mentor though.

@LikeTheSun then I have to know you much better... 🥴

@SW-User that shouldn't be a problem. I'm on quite frequently as of late
