When I started building software 25 years ago, one had to pay for everything, even a basic C compiler was not free. There was no internet, no Linux, no OpenSource.
The computing world has really moved on.
Now when one starts a project there is a whole range of OpenSource building blocks one can choose from. And really cool stuff too. In no particular order here are some of the projects that have excited me in recent times:

Now when one starts a project there is a whole range of OpenSource building blocks one can choose from. And really cool stuff too. In no particular order here are some of the projects that have excited me in recent times:
- CoreCLR
- grpc
- Protocol Buffers
- Apache Zookeeper
- RocksDB
- Lua
- LuaJIT
- Visual Studio Code
- libuv
- node.js
- LLVM
One could go on. The wealth of knowledge that is now accessible to all is tremendous, and it is all there for anyone who is interested.
I think this is our time - we who create software. The world is being changed forever as software will drive everything everywhere, and we, the software creators, are at the core of this revolution.
