I started programming in assembly using AppleSoft Basic as a glue language in 1986 as a hobbyist in 6th grade.
By the time I was in college for two years, I found other things I enjoyed much more than programming. From 1994 to the present, coding has become no more than a method to exchange labor for money to support my addiction to food and shelter.
I spent the first decade and a half of my adult life as a fitness instructor and running with friends as a hobby.
My wife and I now travel half the year, “nomadding” flying between cities every three weeks.
I still spend of time after work at the gym of whatever hotel I’m at.
