About You
You are the kind of developer that can master any programming domain, given a little time to do so. Ideally you have mastered several in the course of your career. You write code (at least in part) because you love doing it. You may have contributed to open source projects.
You have a computer science degree, a related degree, or an utterly unrelated degree and life experience. Or, no degree at all and life experience. We celebrate the fact that there are many paths one can take as an apprentice in the craft of programming.
