Hi all, thought I should add my #introduction! I'm enjoying it here so far. Like many others have said, it's reminiscent of those halcyon days of early #deadbirdsite.
Anyway, brief summary timeā¦ I started off studying physics and assumed I'd end up in academia, or would at least become "Dr Watson", but it wasn't to be. My attempt at a PhD in nanoscale physics didn't go too well for various reasons, and I fell into a career editing and writing books about programming, mostly concerning C#. My timing was terrible as everybody started using #stackoverflow instead of reading books, so I sold my soul to the man and now work as a contractor in the London financial sector.
So, that's me. Looking forward to meeting some likeminded people here. Please go easy on me, I was widowed at the start of 2021 (#fuckcancer) and am still rebuilding myself.
