I'm 57. I started programming at 52. I was an electronic engineer and the most I ever did was assembly and some C. I own some fast food restaurants and my wife suggested we get online. Long story short, I couldn't spell "web developer" but now I are one.

Can you do a thread elsewhere about owning the restaurants? I'm fascinated by the food business.

This is how you end up with a small fortune in the food business: start with a big one!
