I once thought about getting out and doing something else, but I got over it. I enjoy software too much.

I've been programming and designing systems for 20 yrs now, including early postscript firmware for laser printers, workflow systems for the insurance companies, and more recently software architecture in the oil and gas industry (oilfield operations and management, pipeline/tanker scheduling, refinery planning, production scheduling, and blending optimization). I've always been a bit of a Luddite outside of work. I deal with invisible abstractions all day long, and in between tracking down bugs in a 15M line system there's something comforting and reassuring about working with well-made low-tech objects.
