Re-starting a new

Way back in the day, I liked to write code. I'm not sure what it was. Maybe it was problem-solving. Maybe it was at one point like a lot of other people I wanted to make video games. I also had an idea for a T-shirt. I figured out I could write quick little programs to solve problems. Like helping process data in a lab from physics class. Then at work study and eventually after school at my real job. Here is where I feel I had a unique opportunity. I got to be kind of a jack of all trades, which somewhat prevails through to today. I felt like at one point I would get a problem and over a weekend I could mock up a POC or have a working solution. One of the first kinds of full projects I built was a trouble-ticking system. It started as a LAMP stack (yeah that was PHP). Then I progressed to Python Tornado and MongoDB. I even bought a domain quicklogs.com and tried for a bit to sell it as a download app and then a hosted service.

Somewhere along the way that got lost. I took a few bad jobs where I was getting overworked. Then employers like to say they owned everything I worked on. So a little bit out of spite and a little bit of work taking all my time, I quit working on these things. Eventually, I got into DevOps because it was like Infrasture but with some programming. But the deeper I got into DevOps the less actual Python I was writing.

Now a few years later. We are on the event horizon of a new reality. Large language models and generative code. AI. So what is the point of trying to get back into any of this? GPT is just going to take this over in a few months.
Well, the hell with it. Let's see what happens:
