I kept using a modded Amiga 1200 until 2001 or so, with a PowerPC board and poo poo. I gave up when I messed up a pointer in some c code and it managed to make the filesystem gently caress up all my data (no memory protection lmao)

Then I became a freebsd guy

Then I became a gentoo guy

Then I became a kubuntu guy

I programmed only in 68k assembly for years

Then I became a C guy

Then I became a C++ guy (which i still am)

zlodo have you ever made money off programming or coding or software engineering or whatever

I've worked as a coder for the past twenty years, mostly in video games

what the gently caress kind of video game programming were you doing and presumably selling on an amiga

oh i never did any professional work back on the amiga

I did lug it around to my first job interview to show off things i had done though

actual confession: i no longer get excited about new technology and i'm a little scared i'm finally going to become a legit dinosaur in the industry who's completely out of touch

ive been like this for years

While I'm not excited by tech anymore, I do still like to build things. Like I'm not excited of writing c++ code for the sake of it, but I'm happy if I feel that it helps our game be a good game
