Didn't start developing/coding until my mid-30's after a late entry into an IT field. At the end of the day I love computers and I love tinkering. As such I've strove to learn more and more as I've dug deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. Although I do a lot of coding "for fun" there's a definite purpose behind it be it to get ahead at work, better understand something, or fill a gap where I might see one.
