It’s a natural moment to pause, reflect on my journey, and think about where I’m headed in the coming year.</p> <p>I started programming with GWBasic on a Tandy 1000. Throughout the years I have learned many programming languages many of which I don&rsquo;t even remember anymore. Basic, PHP, Python, Perl, Assembly, Java, C++, Visual Basic, JavaScript, Lua C#, and Go.</p>
