They've been at it for far longer than just the last 10 years.
Obviously :D But roughly 10 years ago, they made it their mission :D

Beer and pizza fridays. Nobody cared that I wasn't 21. :laugh: ETA: I totally identify with Cameron from Halt and Catch Fire. She was a woman after my own heart.

As I've matriculated as a coder I've noticed several watershed moments in my development of the craft. It has to do with what I typically swear at. Over the years, I've gone from primarily swearing at the languages for not having what I want To primarily swearing at the compiler for not doing what I want To primarily swearing at my IDE and toolchains for breaking :)

I went from doing stuff the way it's been done before, assuming there is genius there I'm just too inexperienced to recognize, to recognize unmaintainable rat's nests for what they are, questioning everything, from architecture to workflows.
