I'm now 58, I got sick last March, and have (it seems, there is no definitive test) Long Covid. Going grocery shopping is all the activity I can handle for a day. I started out resting, and hoping to get better... somewhere along the line I started to accept this as my new really bad normal.
I am now faced with jumping back into the world of software development, at 58. Things have changed since my last full time programming job. Windows 3.1 and Delphi aren't the hot ticket any more. ;-)
On the plus side, GIT and GitHub are awesome. Saving source code to sequentially numbered zip files on floppy disks, every time I made a big change, sucked!
