I'm just some unimportant programmer, dabbler by nature, you probably shouldn't listen to me but that doesn't stop me from giving advice.

Please excuse my Common Lisp evangelism, I'm just a poser who after a journey from PHP through Java and Python and C and C++ and JS and Scheme and Clojure, just loves the language, enjoys programming anything in it, and has fun trying to correct decades-old misconceptions about it. Maybe by the time I'm 50 I'll have more to show for it. i.e. I think it's better to write cool programs in Lisp than to evangelize, and I'm failing to live up to my own standards.

Not currently employed, did a speed run to quasi-retirement in 2020.

I have a BS Degree in Computer Engineering from a school more renowned for degrees in video game [engine] programming.

Located in Bellevue, WA, feel free to get in touch for coffee/dinner/whatever if you're in the Seattle area. Or even if you're not, maybe we can play some online games. I like to visit Japan, too. でも、私の日本語は下手です。
