30years ago did some for a company i worked for, remember overly annoying anal spacing requirement but thats about it. History is... 6809 dragon 32 Z80a spectrum 6510 c64 6502 bbc micro 68020 amiga 1200 Quick basic PC Cobol pc Paradox PC Oracle forms PC C+ pc Vb6 \ access 97 pc ( still most of my work newer access ) Delphi Macromedia like powerpoint Vb.net 2005 (hateful) Java for google sheets. Java for Android apps Defo time to retire! Liked assembly and writing games, just business since.
Basic, Z80, 6502, C, Miranda, M68000, Modula-2, SmallTalk, Prolog, Oberon, C++, Java, Python, Objective C. Spectrum, BBC, Amiga, PC, Mac.... I too got interested in Programming with Z80 assembly.. HTML, JSP, Servlets and SQL databases between 2000 and 2007. Was horrible and depressing. Since 2015 i have been doing Java desktop development again. Like it was 1998 all over again. Beats Javascript and all the Web shite. Feel much better and get paid $200K a year to do it as well.
And SQL don't really count as a language mind to me, just got handed someone elses CRM system VB6 linked to SQL back end, the code using SQL to write every text box or retrieve is so damn long, 1170 pages if printed, nightmare. $200K sounds nice aswell, have to move to London to get 1/2 that money in the UK then no where to ride my mountain bike so screw that.
Think I'll knock the big program on the head, written by someone who was defo paid by the hour, not even a big system, seems to have everything written twice aswell, very strange. Got work from old business partner back when we used to do Lean management all over the UK, fun times on the pull every night, rare we failed Bored sales rep's, good times!
haha, multiple frameworks in the same code base. You gotta love shitly done code. If everything was neat and tidy (and worked properly) there would be a lot less work for us to do.
All little procedures, makes it impossible to just read the damn code, read abit, go hunt the hidden procedure which has more hidden procedures arrrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
40 year old mainframes housed in NJ right next to Trump's golf course. What an epic picture of the status quo.
