Are you a professional or a hobbyist? How did you get your start in programming? What type of project/s are you working on currently? (lemmy.one)

I'm always interested in hearing other's stories and what they're working on. Anyone care to share?

I'm a professional developer but I started out as a hobbyist. I fell in love with programming after seeing all the neat things you could do with jailbroken iPhone back in the day, and while I don't dabble in that area, I love having the ability to customize or alter something to suit my needs.

My current work is pretty boring and repetitive, so I've found some energy to write a workout routine newsletter, like their weren't enough workout apps already haha. I also started a terminal SQL application that could be used for querying files. (insert into orangefiles.csv select Path, Name, FileSize from [./../dir] where Name like '%orange%') But I gave up on that because it was way over my head. Might pick it up again a few years in the future, it would be pretty handy.
