What languages do you code in? I'm a trader first bush league coder second.Must resist giving up work just to trade, must resistnot quite there yet, soon though very soon, this work is doing my head in, 30years of coding is enough for anyone.
Missed loads of great follow through trend moves today I see
I mainly use VB6 have been for nearly 20years, I do ASP.NET when I have to, Java Script, HTML, dev apps for android phones and tell people have to tried turning it off and on again frequently.
My Eyes are sore, still down to 1 screen and got to write a system tonight
Arseeee!!!
Vanz, you are very silly and irreverent. I like you.
Must resist giving up work just to trade, must resist
...
THIRTY years of coding, and it seems like of working hard and struggling financially.
I mean, many people have been slacking off professionally, so it is kind of understandable
that after 30 years of "working life", they can be struggling financially.
But seriously, I am not understanding something: where did your money go all these years?
I want to learn something here: what did you put first that was more important than your own
financial comfort, your own well-being?

Well I don't earn that much, it varies some months I'll pull in 5K GBP other months barely 1K, then I have costs and Kids and a couple of woman
These days, it's nearer the 1K.
Holidays, Cars, Mountain Bikes, Road Bikes, WOMAN WOMAN and yes more WOMAN, Mountaineering expenses.
Supposed to be coding tonight, but can't eyes are just too sore so I'm off to bed shortly, I feel ill stomach ache.
I was kinda hoping they'd ran out of work for me, I get 37hours min paid for support so fine, but not going to get over the 37 this month and I've got work, so have to do it, or lose the 37hours, so I'm working for no extra money this month which sucks.
I can make more trading, but being dragged off, which is also annoying me, not quite got the performance to give up work yet, so trying to resist end of March is the plan.
Life SUCKS!!
Cool...I've never dealt with any of those. Some C# and C++ for trading algo stuff and swift for some ios dev.I mainly use VB6 have been for nearly 20years, I do ASP.NET when I have to, Java Script, HTML, dev apps for android phones and tell people have to tried turning it off and on again frequently.

I've done C++, Pascal, Cobol, Fortran, Delphi loads of assembly but 20years back, used to write games, 6809, 6502, z80a, 68000/20.
Its not just the coding, its all the stress from staff wanting stuff and politics.
Early night, see if that helps.
