Too Long; Didn't Read
<strong>I started coding at age eight, sitting in a Chicago basement with a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A. I would spend all days programming little games in BASIC. In high school, I made graphics for the then-burgeoning CD-ROM industry (Internet had not yet blown up). Instead of college, I opted to write web software for startups and public companies in the late 1990s. I did that for nearly fifteen years. Now I am a lawyer.</strong>
