When it all began…
That’s not me in the photo (no, no), but you could have taken the same one with an Amstrad CPC 464 shortly after Christmas 1985… I was 11 years old.
The passion has never left me.
At 13-14, I knew I already had a career in my hands, which would give me a stupid certainty and a rare smugness, which would make me fail quite a few studies I would undertake and also tell a lot of bosses to “piss off” throughout my journey… because I knew it was going to “work out” as long as I had that magic in my hands.
I even made it my career without doing the studies that went with it.
For 2 years, 1 year especially, the passion simply no longer exists.
I became passionate about automation and the orchestration of AI agents, but it’s not the same feeling of being “master of the world” as when you pull off your first scrolling in assembly on your sluggish machine.
