microsoft excel and VBA for office

[Alex K]

I wrote VBA stuff for Excel and Outlook 15 years ago. One project was an extension for outlook which allowed to manage a knowledge database and included a ticket system for bug reports. I was young and needed the money...

Are you involved in any other coding languages now?

I set up a few easter eggs in my code sometimes, like application.speech.speak to say something like prepare for beastmode haha before running macros

It is scary sometimes though when you create something that basically obsoletes part of someones job, including your own.

Exactly, just this month I wrote two perl scripts in two hours which did two week's work in assembling a few hundred pages of text. It's uncanny. Fortunately the pay was for the result, not by the hour

I most regularly work with C++ and Perl, in the past I've used Fortran, Visual Basic and others, even a weird functional language, O'Caml.
