Exactly! Damn, 54 years. I don't have to say anything more. I should be listening to you. You are my father's age. I'm really glad you liked the article. Hope to hear more about your stories about programming back in the day.

My programming skills were completely self taught. I attended 2 years of college and dozen or so employer provided training. I learned the hard way that if you look over a program and have trouble figuring out what it does, then there are not enough comments.

Guess I'm going down your footsteps. I, as well, only went to college for 2 years, and am self-taught. Getting a job kind of was more important. But I must've gone through hundreds and hundreds of hours of online courses. I'm actually enrolled in three courses at the moment. Two of which I need for work. Education is never-ending for us programmers. That's why I tend to share my knowledge. Would you ever be interested in speaking at a meetup, about your life story and the way you became a programmer? I host a small study group in my town, and the guys and girls would love to hear something inspiring. Especially from someone of your calibre. :)

At 73 I have Parkinsons and can't do as much as I would like. What city/timezone is your meeting and how did you envision my participation? How long would the talk last and what specifically would you/they want to hear? Programming techniques/career summary/messing around in memory of disk file structure/assembly language exploits are examples.
