Hello World

How I Became a Mobile and Web Developer and embraced Polyglot Programming

Before I go into how I fell into polyglot programming, I want to emphasize that I didn’t come up with this term nor did I know what it was or the fact that it existed until well into my professional career. In fact, like a lot of things in life, it just happened to occur organically by happenstance.

I would love to tell you that I became a developer through divine intervention.

In my infinite wisdom, I was a visionary who saw the potential in computers. Somehow, through the grace of God, I followed a hunch that the internet would become one of the most important innovations the world has ever seen and that’s what drove me to pursue a career in tech.

But I can’t.

Honestly, I didn’t really know what people on the reporters on TV, the VJ, or the radio announcers were talking about for an embarrassing amount of time. I didn’t know that the internet was going to be the innovation that could promote an unfettered access to knowledge which in turn would be used to strengthen worldwide economic trade. This economic trade would lead to higher profits and an exponential increase in sciences, arts, and humanities which would uplift disenfranchised individuals around the world and unite the world in a way humanity never even knew was conceivable. I didn’t know that an untethered access to all the knowledge of humanity was ever going to fit inside of a person’s pocket. The reality is a lot less grandiose and lavish.

I kind of just fell into being a polyglot developer through a series of serendipitous parlays.
