Hey, not sure if anyone remembers me... I joined here many years ago when I was just a teenager. I had learned C++ from an old library book and thought I knew how to program computers. Haha.

I made a lot of dumb posts here -- in fact I'm afraid to look through my history here. I do remember one of my last threads I created, asking how to become a professional programmer: Becoming a Professional Programmer

Well... time flies! 12 years later, I've gone through college and am employed as a software engineer at a big tech company. Still writing C++! And yet it's almost unfathomable how much the tech scene has changed since then. Logging in here into my old account feels a little bit like going back in a time machine.

Nowadays we tend to use Stack Overflow for our Q&As rather than forums. I can see this has a lot less activity than it used to... are any of the old folks still around? Bubba, Prelude, Salem?

How is everyone doing? Hope you all are well.
