Since my beginning with a dot com, I found that automating things I disliked doing made a much more pleasant job experience.
This led me down the scripting road through PowerShell (and some Python), and since then I've learned enough to know that I barely know anything.
Never take myself too seriously, and I truly love perusing StackOverflow regularly throughout the work week. Without this resource I'd likely have never been able to determine the value of asking the right types of questions, not just seeking answers.
Without my coffee, I can only code in Neanderthal!
