How I Became a Microsoft Software Developer Life Story Rags to Riches 💴
34,542Rags to Riches How I Became a Microsoft Senior Software Developer Life Story. Let me tell you my story of how I got involved in computers & programming at a very young age starting from my earliest memories to present day. You get to hear about the people I met, the risks I took and luck that lead me down the path of becoming a Microsoft developer and ultimately a self employed video producer here on YouTube. Due to the video length I had to leave a lot out so if you enjoy this let me know and I will do a follow up down the road.

▼ Questions & Answers ▼
Q) You missed a lot of your computer history like Pentium, etc.
A) The video is already super long so I only included the computer upgrades that were significant to changes in my life. But I did go from a 486 to Pentium 90, then a 133, then a 300a, etc.
Q) Why didn't you go into more detail about your Microsoft Career.
A) I figured that could be a video all by itself in the future if you guys enjoy this. A lot happened during my 15 years at the company and it would be fun to make a video on it and talk about all the crazy up's and down's.
