Cleaning out some document folders I came across some comments I'd clipped for preservation 11 years ago. I suppose if I'm ever going to think about them again, now might be a good time.

Where were you in 2006, where are you in 2017/2018, and where will you be in a decade?
Wow, that's a blast from the past. In all honesty, I would never have thought that some people would still be using VFP 11 years later! I thought there would be stragglers for a few more years at most, and then it would be more like maintenance mode for COBOL apps.
Then again, I haven't regretted my decision to switch to Python. It has taken me on an incredible journey, and allowed me to be part of the birth of OpenStack, and I spoke about it a few years ago before I left Rackspace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QRkzMW3OdA
Having said that, I must confess that all my free time for playing lately has been consumed by learning Go. It's a very interesting language, and quite a change from working with a dynamic language like Python.
