I like to think that some of the code your dad wrote is still in production (or at least has been longer than I'm on earth), while most of the stuff I wrote in the last 3 years will be soon rot and will disappear along with the virtual machine it's running in

This is a neat repo. I randomly got here after I typo'd "githun" in google.

You have a excellent dad!

nirholas commented 6 years ago

Awesome!

runvnc commented 6 years ago

Thanks a lot guys. I really thought this would just have a very minor level of interest related to the old programming languages etc. Thanks for the kind comments about my dad and his code.

rcholic commented 6 years ago

It's never too old to learn.

Your great Dad is a great example.

I think You probably want to donate the resume to a computer/technology museum, as I don't know many of the languages your dad used.

Thank you very much for sharing. Best wishes to your Dad and your family

Congratulations to your Dad on a good career. I'm old enough to have learned COBOL in college back in the 1980s but I never used it in my career. I hope that some day, 42 years from now, my resume appears on Github just like your dad's did.

I feel inspired by reading the resume. It has opened my mind to many things, more especially looking at my work with a future perspective.

Give him our love :)

This is a fascinating look into programming history, thanks for sharing :)

ethikz commented 6 years ago

This is golden! Thanks for sharing and like @rcholic said, I would keep this and make a copy for yourself and donate the original to some sort of computer/technology museum.

I want thank him for his work and laying the foundation / paving the way for modern development. A pioneer of sorts.

You have a great dad! And yes it's a brilliant idea to donate it to museum but you are the one makes the call Please like if you are agree 😊

They don't make programmers like this anymore. These were serious technologies, and back then you couldn't just copy paste every other line from StackOverflow and refresh the page. Respect to your Dad, what a true legend! Hope that he, and your family is staying well xx

Thank you so much. Unfortunately, my father passed away a few years ago. He was 93. The reality is that his mind was mostly gone well before his body.

Thank you so much to everyone for all of the kind words.

I really love how this Resume looks ! The formatting is just amazing, simple and precise

mattpogue commented 2 years ago

What I love most - in the 37 years listed ('43 - '80), he worked for 4 employers, one of them for 24 years. I've been in IT for 25 years and my full resume is 10 pages long to include all the different employers! And other than the experience, I have very little to show for it in terms of retirement. Welcome to the Tech Gilded Age where the billionaires thrive while the rest of us toil. If I make it to 92, I'll probably still be working....

Hi Jason (@runvnc),

Following your PR for the Scroll repo, I took a look at your GitHub profile, found your Hacker News comment about AI, and then stumbled on the HN posts about your Dad's resume repo.

I see that it was posted first in 2018 and then again in 2022. I must have come across it when it was last posted, because I had already starred the repo.

Your Dad was very accomplished, and this repo is a brilliant snapshot of your Dad's career and a great memory of him. I also learned both COBOL and Fortran in college in the late 70s, so this resonated very much with me also.

Thanks for taking the time to set this up. You can tell from the comments, both on HN and in this repo, that it means a lot to those who have read it.

Kind Regards, Liam
