📟 Base64, FreeAgent, and a Timeline You Can Decode
When people ask how long I’ve been in tech, I usually just smile and say:
“Let’s put it this way – I still remember Base64 from the days of FreeAgent newsgroup readers.”
No ChatGPT, no slick web interfaces. Just raw message headers, encoded attachments, and the patience to decode MIME by hand if needed. If you know, you know.
Fast-forward to today: Cloud-native infrastructure, IaC, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration. Still fascinated by how things work under the hood – just with a different set of tools.
Curious where other people started their tech journeys. Were you there for the newsgroups, the dial-up sounds, or did your story begin with containers and cloud?
