Today I have realised that I never published all the programs I have been writing during my career in the building industry.
I always have been thinking that they weren’t worth to be published as I would have labelled them as “little hacks”.
Until today.
Today I realised that they actually show some of my programming skills, mainly used to deal with the little frictions between legacy and newer softwares.
For today I will publish them, partly here, partly on github. After all so many people have been using github repositories as a coding portfolio.
I may discover that those that I rate as skills are staple, day-by-day skills that every system administration worth of the name shall have or that those are not actually skills. I will take the risk of being joked on the net as the civil engineer who liked to behave as an IT professional but he’s actually a low tech guy.
Actually during all those years – you won’t believe it – for this company I’ve been coding in:
- Commodore 64 BASIC
- Amigabasic
- AREXX
- Python
- some bash, also using ask and sed
- a little C
So, let this “Paolo the wannabe” series being…
