I've been touched in some way by every programming language I've learned including some quirky ones like APL and Lisp. I carry in my fingertips basic idioms drawn from daily use of Pascal, Smalltalk and Javascript in each era of my programming life.
My first jobs were in newspaper photography, pizza delivery, steel mill labor, and air-conditioning repair.
