I'm considering something similar. I code for fun regularly but I worry if I'll cut it as a modern coder. Check in code to prod on day 1 seems to be a considered a badge of honor these days. I worry that I'll bring down the site :-p Also, 7 years ago, methodologies such as SCRUM and TDD weren't pervasive. How are you adjusting? Also, how did you prep for the technical interview?
I managed scrum teams a lot so I know tdd and xp and the like. As for the interview, I did a couple of pet projects in the last 1-2 years in the evenings so I've been able to answer all of the django questions. Plus I'm awesome:) Just kidding. No I'm not kidding - it's pretty important to be on the same page with your team/employer.
Also I bought a c64 as 6810 assembly is on my bucket list. So as AI and Lisp.
