Bravo. They beat me by two years. 
Never been certified though. Just certifiable.

I remember on my coleco adam typing in all those BASIC programs from those magazines (1983 or so) but I never got even one of the long programs to run. I didn't understand a word I was typing.
I did master the:
10 print "roger "
20 goto 10
I knew to put the space after the last letter, so you can see what a genius I was.

haha. The first usable app I wrote was for balancing checkbooks more quickly**. I did enter code from magazines but it taught me coding.

I remember playing with a Spectrum 128k when I was a kid.
Some time later my oldest brother (almost in college) bought a Pentium 75Hz and I helped him installing Win 3.11 correctly (I was in primary)

Uh, I don't want to brag  (well, really I do) but I beat the TRS-80[^] (that's tandy radio shack) computer at checkers (draughts[^] to those of you across the pond) when I was only 10.
And! I played black so computer went first. That's the kind of guy I am.
My secret was that I never moved any draughts in the bottom row. The computer opponent got to a point where it could make no moves and declared me the winner.

I didn't know that passing such a certificate makes you a programmer...
Now, please raise your hand if you will employ the kid!

Gee, when I was six, all I wanted was a typewriter. My father said, "A six-year-old needs a typewriter like he needs a hole in his head." But my grandmother bought me a small 12-pitch model, which ended up seeing a lot of use.
A while before that, I had wanted a piano, but my father told me that none were for sale. So the next day I showed him the want ads. But we never got a piano.

It's not that I was looking for more reasons to consider certifications actively harmful, but...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Isn't it a little late for "breaking changes" in .Net 5? It's about to be officially released.

The fires were caused by using the wrong screws.
Let that sink in, THE WRONG SCREWS!
That is some more kind of design flaw.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Yes, need to raise taxes because TBTF DoucheBank is a zombie that will eventually need a big bailout.
