#introductions Hello, I started with Spectravideo 328 and basic in 1988, gradually leveled up with all sorts of programming languages until I found Ruby (through Ruby on Rails 1.1.2) in 2006.

Since then I've tried all sorts of programming languages and frameworks but I keep coming back to Ruby and Ruby on Rails. 😊

@tuomasj Hey Tuomas! How's it going? Still in Oulu?
@ahawkins Hello Adam!! Yeah, I'm living in Oulu, preparing for the long and dark winter ;) I left the banking world and joined a startup that is building a secret society of experienced developers and designers :)
@tuomasj Aye my friend, that's a long dark winter up there. When does the sun come out again, April? I do admit that I really miss Finland, the snow, and occasionally the darkness. That may just be longing for a sauna. How's it going at the new gig?
@ahawkins The sun comes up in ~Feb, but it takes a while until it warms... the gig is going great, we're 1200+ developers and 150+ companies, we match both parties so developers find good jobs / good freelancer gigs
