I worked at a web hosting company in Atlanta back in 2002, called Interland. In 2003 we purchased a company called Trellix which let you build websites through a web interface. I remember our first meeting with Trellix…
I may have put them in a rung higher than they are, since I didn’t listen to them back when they were big and touring, so I only know them more by who they tour with now, but his band is Sister Hazel.
I have a friend that is the drummer in a band that had a couple big hits in the 90’s, not going to drop names, but their contemporaries are bands like Collective Soul, Gin Blossoms, that kind of stuff. They have a few…

I think if you look at some companies that have been around for a long time you’ll find quite a few older people that are still doing development. I just celebrated my 20th year being at the media company I work for.…
I’ve seen a lot of these lists lately, but this is the first one I can say I really agree with a lot of the points. I’ve been a professional developer close to 30 years, and have picked up a lot of these same lessons. I…
As a quick follow up. When I started development professionally in 1996, it definitely wasn’t for money. My roommate who was a waitress in a nice restaurant here in Atlanta made twice what I brought home. I just loved…
I was born in 1971, my first exposure to a computer was an Apple II running Logo in one of my gifted classes. I was hooked at that moment. My main hobby today at 52 is still coding. At work I am an analytics architect.…
I wasn’t affected by the dot com bubble luckily. I worked for a consulting firm in Atlanta during that time, and we had an office in an incubator called TechNest. My boss lent us out to various people there. I worked…
My grandfather was a medic and was part of the storm of Normandy beach on D-Day. He never really spoke of it and had a stroke and passed away before Saving Private Ryan came out. We wondered what he would have thought…
Just playing around with it with the remote they don’t have to be older than maybe in elementary school like my neighbors kid. If you mean assembly and doing some programming I would think middle school with an adults…
I have the authors Programming Atari 2600 Games and really enjoyed it. I started my professional programming career programming in Assembler on an OS/360 mainframe back in the mid 90s and it really helped me starting…

My wife and I were in Washington DC back in 2018-2019 and happened to go into the Botanical Garden while out walking. There was a crowd gathered and we found out a corpse flower had bloomed there. It was quite a sight…
A majority of the cars on my street, in Decatur, GA, are electric. It sound like a scene from a sci-fi movie when the wife and I sit on our front porch. All the cars making a light whirling sound as they drive by. I…
I live in Georgia, City of Decatur. My house is a 1920 craftsman, 2,800 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 3 bath. We pay ~$1,200 a month in property taxes.
I’ve been at my current job almost 19 years. I’ve been in many roles on many teams over that time, so even though I’ve been here a while I moved around enough to keep it feeling fresh. I turn 51 in a few weeks, and as…
I actually went through something like this back in 1996. A few local companies (AFLAC, TSYS and Blue Cross/Blue Shield) sponsored a program that taught Assembler, COBOL, IMS, DB2, JCL, Rexx, etc. Those who made it…
Is this different than if I worked as an employee at a pizza restaurant as a delivery driver and I use my own personal car for making the deliveries?
Nice article. I had big plans for using a Raspberry Pi as a Plex Media Server once. The set up was easy, I attached my external HDD and let it scan the libraries. My wife and I watched a few movies, it worked perfectly.…
My ex worked at Home Depot corporate office, and their Christmas bonus was Home Depot gift cards.
Back in 1996, I lived in Columbus, GA. There are a couple companies down there that used Mainframes for their processing. Synovous/TSYS, AFLAC and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Those companies teamed up with Columbus State…
My first exposure to computers was in elementary school. We had a couple Apple II computers which had Logo installed on them. We had fun typing in commands to draw Spirograph looking images on the screen. My parents got…
I've lived in Atlanta since 1997 and I always found the pay to be great, while the cost of living isn't all that bad. I'm an application architect pulling in a little over $160k. I recently bought a house over in…
My typical workday is more like 9:30 - 4:30 or 5:00, although if needed I'll hang around until 6:00 or so. I work as an Application Architect in a large enterprise. We have some developer teams that work start-up hours,…
