Paul, I really appreciate your post … it’s interesting to look back once in a while to see how long and varied the journey has been. From building Fortran card decks on IBM card punch machines in the early ‘60s for ‘big iron’, to ‘mini-computers’, micros (writing binary for the Intel 4004), PCs, desktops, laptops, handhelds and now the cloud, it has been awesome.
It's truly exciting to see how the field has grown into something unimaginable (to me) back then. As I move into Data Engineering on the AWS platform, I’m slowly getting a feel for where we are now, and some inkling of where things might go … beyond awesome!
