Programming since about 1980; gods I'm old.

First computer used: PDP-11

First computer language used: BASIC ... with line numbers

First computer owned: Apple IIc

My pronouns are e/en.

I invented gender neutral pronouns since it's silly that English doesn't have gender neutral, singular pronouns. My brain is unable to use they/them as singular. I tried to train it. It failed.

The left side of my brain cannot change to use they/them. And the right side of my brain knows why. English is very strongly based on number – much more so than gender.

Programming style is not rules and guidelines

class (computer programming) needs love

C++ class needs love

Optimizing compiler Move stuff about loop optimization to loop optimization; also considering merging Optimizing compiler into program optimization
