I have a side project that includes MySQL, PERL and AI(/ML). I've done unix for 34 years. I've done lots of things in those decades including building compilers, debuggers, subclassing X widgets and writing databases. I've written production code in 40 languages. I can and have done lots and still have lots to learn. I live in an RV and can go anywhere and I have a Secret and Security+.
