#Introduction Programming since about 1979, starting on an Altair with front-panel switches and no screen. First C program on a TRS-80 around 1980. Ran BBSs, then a server farm out of my house, then a basement data center before anyone said cloud. Twelve years of speech recognition after that. I write the RoamingPigs Field Manual, independent essays on what actually holds up in production. #RetroComputing #AISafety
