I'm a "learn as you go" programmer who used to be an electrician... go figure!
I LOVE this stuff! My passion has landed me a nice job I probably don't deserve, but they keep signing the paychecks so I keep coming into the office!
I've been doing this now for more than 10 years... started out learning AJAX and have slowly become a full-stack developer. It's been quite a ride.
Stack Overflow has been a huge help for me and so I've finally built an account. I'm not as knowledgeable as most of you guys are... but I try.
But let me say here: THANK YOU everyone in StackOverflow. When I find an answer I do upvote it to give you credit. But there's been many I've missed as I didn't have an account. Now I do.
