I learned never to discriminate or judge others; you never know their story. If someone is married or engaged, it is their own personal business that doesn't make them a bad employee or red flag. Truth is, I can work with almost anyone as long as they don't stab me in the back. I'm here to help and have a passion for the industry. I'm 57, have schizoaffective disorder, but those shouldn't be red flags or make me unstable. In fact, it is discrimination based on age and disability.
I learned to program when I was 12 on a Commodore 64 in BASIC. I went to college to learn how to program in other languages on multiple platforms. I went and earned a business management degree to go with my IS degree. I got skin in the game.
I've been to Thailand 3 times already, and it has religion and culture from India, and they have Indian people living there as well, whom I met. I learned International Business and Global Management in college.
I'm in a slump, and have to start all over again as AI becomes popular and all of the retro tech I know isn't being used anymore.
I've run two businesses with friends, I know how hard it is to turn a profit and pay everyone, and the bills pile up as well.
Fake Programmers who don't know how to code are doing the fake it until you make it, and need a teacher or mentor like me on the job to help them learn what they need to know.
If I had enough money and time, I would be doing business and legal apps cross-platform for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
