I am not even a professional. I am an uneducated French house-husband in his late 30s. For some reason I have always been considered a "geek / nerd" by my surrounding but I did not really work in "tech" that much except for some web developpement gigs. One of my last job was forklift driver. I believe I am not part of the typical HN demographic. I like to create things that involve programming. I love and follow the demoscene since I'm sixteen. I guess reading HN came naturally.

edit: precision and apologies. I know my English is not that great and I am sorry for that. that is also why I don't comment that much. But I do read a lot.
