Hey check me out before JavaScript and life destroyed mepic.twitter.com/MsuPwpnr5X
I'm actually curious how you got into programming. Would you do it all over?
Long story. I learned to type super young. So in elementary school they let me do whatever I wanted in typing class. Found Qbasic and started making games. Then got into Visual Basic at home, made AOL programs and games (cont)
So then I got into music. Did that for a while. Go signed, had fun, Napster came out, shit became less lucrative. I opened a studio and offered marketing packages like photoshopping covers and flash sites with music players and shit. (Cont...)
Then the music shit was totally over and I needed a job, saw one in the newspaper and lied my way in, and made flash sites for like 4 years.
If I could do it all over again, I would have taken music more seriously and really grinded. I turned down opportunities because I wanted to be that boi, but it was just paying dues but I didn’t get that because I was a kid.
I legit hate this industry. It’s what I do and what I’m good at, but I feel out of place as fuck tbh.
Dang that sux. But also crazy that you've been successful in an industry you don't like. I appreciate you sharing I def feel out of place too, but don't (yet?) hate the industry. What about it needs to change for you?
I mean, there’s def a ton of cool people, but it just feels a bit high brow most of the time for me. also, the tech itself is fascinating but the drama is exhausting. Probably just embittered by the oss maintainer experience tbh.
Saaaammmmeeee. Tech feels like it's mostly third generation college educated elites, with no time for imperfect speech or rough edges. Not a lot of socioeconomic background diversity, and what there is, gets washed out or hidden. I'm always so grateful to meet people like Ken.
Ahhhh. This is absolutely it. And it's so grating because it's often a veil over their true qualities.
