Yes, but I've never been an employed programmer -- I lost my job over a year ago, and basically, because I still have the chance to upskill and live with my parents, I've used the last year to work part-time and flesh out some projects and become more employable overall.

I'll be starting a job next month, because at this point I probably gotta get back on the hamster wheel and work into some professional progress, but I'm hoping this is my last non-programming job. The last 13 months have absolutely been worth the price of admission.
