Interesting to meet another person that went through the “GW-BASIC to Rust” journey. Mine was through FreeBasic and C++ in the middle but we ended up in the same neighbourhood.

I did BASIC on the Apple IIe, then TurboBasic, Visual Basic (3, 4, 5 and 6 with some C in there somewhere), VB.Net, C#, Java, Objective-C and finally QT. Now I drive a school bus.

Omg you landed my dream job. Another couple years and I can quit this desk shit and go make kids lives better.

Lol "landed". We are fucking desperate for drivers. So desperate that one of our drivers totaled two cars in one day last year and didn't even get suspended.

Yeah probably similar a lot of places. It is the same here. Always signs up everywhere begging for bus drivers. Crazy
