There was life before GitHub

I woke up the other day and there was a new message from my daughter Monica. She was defending me against the idea that anyone who is not on GitHub is not a developer.

I made myself a coffee and scrolled down through the replies to her post. Her friends suggested that Monica should make me a GitHub login or maybe teach me git (which btw, I learned to use long ago).

I don't take myself seriously enough to engage in useless debates and definitions. Developer, programmer or software engineer? Really, who cares?! But I liked the idea of sharing old stories, new stories and maybe some good stories about a lifetime of coding, before and after the GitHub "culture". So, here I am!
