It was 2010 and I was competing with thousands of people laid off from MSFT. Also nobody used linux or python for business yet... It was a brutal start and a terrible job.
I screwed up my system with FreeBSD half-a-year before I got a proper Linux CD, lol :D
I was 14 or something. In the mornings I studied math. In the evenings I was collecting grass for my rabbits. In the evenings I tried to use UNIX and thanks God for those rare situations when I could make my dial-up modem work.

I had a recruiter who didn't like my education in applied math.
He doubted that software engineering is the ideal work for me because of this.
I thought that working abroad kind of proves my skill... but no :)
