Back in my parents' day, coding was a high-stakes physical exercise. You didn’t just hit "save"; you punched Fortran cards. You waited in line at midnight for a turn at the university’s one mainframe, praying you wouldn’t drop your deck on the floor.

I learned to code using Fortran. And before you guess—no, I’m not 60! For the uninitiated, Fortran was the powerhouse developed by IBM in the ‘50s for heavy-duty scientific and engineering applications. It’s the language of numeric computation—the original "big data" tool.

I took a little time away to unplug and pour back into my own cup, and honestly? It was exactly what I needed. But I’ve missed this community and the late-night chats! I’m heading back into the social space with a much clearer head, a full heart. It feels so good to be back.
