Just an old warhorse of the Industry, weary of many start-ups and countless years at Fortune 100 tech giants. Still looking to find that ideal creative outlet - a paying gig that feels like programming for fun... A digital Don Quixote. I mourn for the days when writing code in C++ didn't require a PhD in abstract automata. When "closure" meant nothing more than landing a great funding round. When lambda was just a vector full of eigenvalues. Nostalgic for the horse and buggy, and using programming languages to write actual algorithms, in stead of simply elaborate type definitions. Alas, gone are the days.
