Ugh. As a teen in the aughts interested in computers two things stuck with me. Sitting in his lap and "helping" my dad do SQL modules as he job hunted after the dot com crash, and "discovering" the Zen of Python and Python many years later.

Never really ended up using Python outside one-off scripts and personal stuff but learning the magick of making silicon do work for you and principles for that really stuck with me as I went to high school and beyond.

RIP :'(
