Yeah, you can kind of get forced into that whole rigmarole.
Cool to hear you’re the W3Cx. That’s a solid gig, especially with how many folks including myself still get tripped up by CSS specificity or JS scoping.
Well I don’t know that unpaid casual part-time work really qualifies as being solid, but I totally count the WWW inventor as being a work colleague ;op and sometimes Bert Bos
(co-creator of CSS) attends to my queries regarding CSS.
I mostly communicate by e-mail with Marie-Claire Forgue, who is head of training, and a bona-fide referee. Her ‘in-house’ expert Michel Buffa from Côte d’Azur University who authored most of the courses’ content, receives queries about whether my more technical suggestions for content updates should be considered.

Scientific software may not be typical, but it qualifies as professional. 
Just don’t volunteer to join a scrum team. Scientific software gets done at its own cadence and with entirely different measures of success.

I Agree with you mate, also I remember mommy Microsoft back in 2000 created the J++ programming language, which was the perfect Java clone, with exact same syntax, maybe with some different libraries.. but it was working over .NET runtime instead JVM.
Do you remember it?
