Hello everyone,

I'm Phill. I have been in the software industry for 30-odd years, writing C for most of that time, but played around with more modern languages like Python, Go and Scala. The one key thing that I have learnt from being in the industry for so long is that maintainability is absolutely key, and for code to be maintainable it must be easily understood. I'm evangelising this in the company I work for. Don't let it be said that older developers have nothing to offer - I feel at the top of my game!

Phill
