After my PhD in Algebra (Group Theory / Model Theory)
which took me the best days of my youth I discovered a novel sensation in typing
("not writing") these strange things called lines-of-code. So I dropped
paper-and-pen for good, and joined the code-writers community.
So far no regret.

Elixorian of the first hour, I am so grateful to this community for having me discover
the erlang programming language.
