Comments

Funny enough, I lived through all of those eras starting with assembly in 1986 in sixth grade),

1996 - C and Fortran on DEC VAX and Stratus VOS mainframes

2001 - C/C++ on PCs and mainframes and starting to work on VB

2006 - JavaScript/C#/some Perl

2011 - C# on Windows ruggedized devices

2016 - .NET Core

2021 - Working as an L5 at AWS (ProServe)

2026 - staff consultant at a 3rd party consulting company. Every single project I’ve done has had Bedrock (AWS service that host most of the popular models) and I constantly have three terminal sessions open - one to run code, one running Codex and the other running Claude.
