Hi Jon, I'm hopefully only part-way through my career in computing. (about 10 years so far) Like you have done, I spend a lot of my free time working on things that help me develop technically rather than socialising. AP makes every working day a challenge for me, and I find myself struggling with that more than any technical challenges at work. I'd say that this has actually hindered my career slightly so far, since I'm reluctant to change to a new working environment where I might end up in a situation that I can't cope with. As a contractor, you must have faced the problem of a frequently-changing workplace. Was/is that something that caused/causes you day-to-day problems and fears or are you able to cope with it?
