Hello all you more experienced young people. I have studied programming off(0) && on (1) since I was very young (age > 50). I continue to study and practice everyday. While I am mostly unpublished, I love the constant learning, failing, trying, humility, and rebirth. Development reminds me of running a marathon up a mountain: Not a single step, not a small sprint, or a large stumble or fall, but always pushing forward. Development is learning to think and organize our thoughts and intentions into the material universe, an act of creation. It is about building order and beauty while the chaos monsters fight viciously to burn our time and devour us whole.

My goals are:

  1. to publish my first full stack app using flask/python/mysql/nginx/docker/kubernetes/aws
  2. to refresh and extend my javascript kung fu so that I actually successfully use it
  3. to make peace with java
  4. to help someone else get past a major hurdle in their life(I have been around and made more mistakes than anyone I have met)
  5. to automate myself out of a job!
  6. to learn
  7. to teach

🏃

Hey Joseph! Code is challenging but what matters is you like doing it!
