But I might be one of the older programmers still active. I learned my first programming language in the Army in 1961, for a Sylvania Mobidic computer, which I never got a chance to write. But I did write code and wired plug boards for the Univac File Computer while stationed at Governor's Island in New York City. Won't bore you with all the computers I wrote for, but here are some highlights: I have worked in a wide number of software genres, ranging from compilers/interpreters, multi-user operating systems for the PDP8, a Microdata machine, and on top of IBM 360 DOS. Have been writing a lot of hypertext (something I call farView), which I started in the '80s for the PC and DEC.I wrote one of the (only?) music synthesis software programs for the Z80. Sold a couple of copies. But now I am currently employed writing and maintaining software for web front and back ends. Also playing with Unity and A-Frame for fun. I'm 77.
