I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
My partner's PC failed, and it's a small form factor jobbie with a proprietary PSU. Same thing happened to her last one a couple of years ago, those tiny PSUs burn out quite easily especially in a house with pets :)
I had an old regular desktop lying around that just needed a graphics card, so I took her old one from the SFF PC and did something clever: I used snips and pliers and glue to fashion a new back plate for the graphics card so it would fit into a normal height slot without falling out.
I feel like a master engineer now.
