“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
— Will Durant (often misattributed to Aristotle)

"...even when it breaks your egocentric little scribbler's heart, kill your darlings."
— Stephen King, "On Writing"

My degree is CIS & Classical Studies - the art, culture, and history of "dead" languages people still use, like CoBOL, FORTRAN, Latin & Greek.

First pass I write in bash; the more complete solution, I build in Perl and leverage with Ansible, and/or maybe "k8s". Yes, I'll use Python if I must. I write C code in vi. All gods protect me from Java and recruiters with contract positions who don't read profiles.

Free time I spend with family, or Tabletop RPG's if I find a good group. Otherwise I watch a show with the wife, tell tall tales or eat something good - I grew up in the South (FOOD=LOVE) but adore culturally diverse and authentic restaurants.

I don't work with hardware OR code at home unless it's for my wife.
