I’ve been in the “IT Industry” for longer than many of my developer friends have been alive. \u00a0I started programming in high school, but had the opportunity in elementary school to play on an IBM Mini Computer at Riverside College in California, oh yeah, it used punch cards!!!<\/p>\n
I find that while working thru a difficult bug or routine or design can be extremely frustrating, there is nothing more gratifying than actually getting it done. \u00a0So gratifying in fact that many times when I am coding time stands still and I have my Fiero<\/a> moment well past the time any normal person would be in bed. \u00a0I spend most of my days now, no longer coding but working on business cases and power point charts. \u00a0And while I still love what I do, I can’t think of a single Fiero<\/a> moment in doing those.<\/p>\n Lately I’ve been working on a game for the iPhone and iPad… \u00a0It’s great to have that much happiness!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been in the “IT Industry” for longer than many of my developer friends have been alive. \u00a0I started programming in high school, but had the opportunity in elementary school to play on an IBM Mini Computer at Riverside College in California, oh yeah, it used punch cards!!!
