Philosopher



Well I did a BA in Philosophy in the late 80s, and it's served me well as a developer. Software development is just applied ontology really...


I studied Philosophy as well, with a heavy scholastic leaning, Thomism, and object oriented programming makes the most sense to me. Although not a programming language, that's probably why Powershell makes a lot of sense to me because it is all very focused on concretes.
