That is my tagline. It's what I would put on a ๐ t-shirt or ๐งข cap, and wear it. It is what I really prefer to be doing at almost any time.
I can not see a problem, or hear someone discussing a problem, without thinking about ๐ค how to solve the problem with code. Does that make me a little wierd.๐คช Maybe.
I have discovered that I am a problem solver. ๐งฉ Puzzles of any kind have gotten me going. As a kid, I always wanted to get the prize out of the Cracker Jack or cereal box, not because I wanted a new gadget or ๐ช toy, but because I wanted to put whatever it was together. Then I would hand it off to a sibling to play with.
I started my career as an electronic ๐ป tech where I learned computers ๐ฅ from the inside out. Then learned how much fun ๐จโ๐ป programming was. And even became the proprietor of my own computer shop.
Github was a great idea. Thank you to all who have had a hand in it's creation and evolution. Now if I can only find some open source projects I can sink my teeth into. Coding or documenting.
