I'm old, folks.
OLD.
I created this account when I was 12 years old.
Now, I'm 23, a software engineer, and I do adult things. You'd think renting my own place, paying bills, going to work, all that expected stuff would make me realize "Hey, I'm not a kid anymore." But it wasn't until I remembered this forum and somehow logged with my old username and password that I realized, "Omg. I'm not a kid reading Redwall anymore."
Anyway, ask me anything!
Why didn't you put this in a members-only board Hey man how you been? Software Engineering, huh? In what applications do you do that in? How is the adult life treating you?
Ye dinnae 'ave tae be a kid tae read Redwall.

Oof, I am too much of a noob to know that is a thing. Regardless, I don't mind making this public. I figured the spam forum would fit well enough since I didn't know exactly where to post this.

As for software engineering, I work on embedded systems! In general this means working with software that is tightly coupled to hardware. The application is avionics networking, which is a time sensitive environment.
The adult life is awesome, man! I couldn't ask for more. I love my job, I love where I live, and I love where I'm headed. Of course, I miss some of the bliss and daydreaming and wonder of being a kid, but I wouldn't trade that back for all the blessings of now!

Not that bad at all. It's way easier than school, that's for sure.

Last week was great! I love doing what I do as a software engineer. Right now I'm working on a presentation for a lab demonstration I had been working on for the past couple of weeks.
Well hello there! Fancy seeing you around these parts. It's been quite a while hasn't it? Anyway, read any good books lately, or has IRL stuff kept you too busy for that?

Hey Matthias720! I think you're one of the oldest members of this forum, haha!
Currently reading a book called
The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe, a Catholic author from the 80's. It's classical fantasy. I gave away all my Redwall books to nieces and nephews unfortunately, lol.
