Hi there,

Let’s set the record straight 🤣 I’m 56 and my first computer was the size of a dozen
refrigerators, I had to punch cards to interact with it, I was 18 years old at the time.

I still code with FP (Clojure) given that my brain cannot hold anymore the zillion of mutatable states in
other languages, especially OO languages. Aging has its cost 😬.

I work on custom fit projects for various customers in different markets. Mostly projects
that others find impossible to tackle. I work remote from North America and Africa and
regularly commute over the Atlantic ocean.

I am opiniated but that’s also part of the aging process 😆.
If it quacks, has palmed feet, feathers and likes to swim I will not tell you that’s a pterodactyl
to please you. Take it or leave it 😂.

If you are curious about what it feels to have nearly 4 decades of coding under the belt,
questions are welcomed.

Have nice day (from Morocco today)
Luc P.
