At 40, after having a kid with my wife a couple years ago, I've just started getting serious about learning to program, after a lifetime of lazily dabbling in various i.t. things. Am now enrolled in uni to finish my bach in CS, which is also where I work.

Have also began to learn about investing in 2020 and have had a lot of fun doing that. Highly recommend the Investing for Beginners podcast with Andrew Sather and Dave Ahern if you don't know anything (like me).

Not afraid to say I've been contributing time to a nonprofit arts organization in my area, and have gotten on its board of directors. I run their web site and we're doing a frontend overhaul/server swap/Cloudflare DNS setup this month. Admittedly a bit scared because I've done this on my own setups but not on a site that gets traffic. Onward to 2021!

/r/wallstreetbets was a fantastic place to really get into the higher forms of investment until it garnered attention from the mainstream... now its full of idiotic "autist" and "retard" jokes.

There was surprisingly high-level technical analysis going on there at one point.
