More people should be aware of who Gary Kildall was and his story. Bill Gates STOLE CP/M then claimed he 'invented' it. Ironically Gary was killed 'following a blow to his head at the Franklin Street Bar & Grill in Monterey, California on July 8, 1994. Gary also died a broke man. Shit like this was the catalyst of my path into the UNIX (and UNIXlike) world that shaped the rest of my life and career. I have decades of well seasoned hate toward Bill Gates and his recent evil activites, from Vaxz to land buyups, never came as a surprise.
Everything from bare metal servers to various cloud integrations to custom fail-over security/firewall devices to just being an open-source evangelist. Over the past 25 years of wearing different systems/networking/security hats, you name it and I've probably touched it.
Great post!

What did you do for UNIX-like companies?

Impressive! I admire that. My field is physical therapy.
