The year is 1980. In a cramped garage, illuminated by the glow of a single monitor, you sit down at your first computer. The software industry is in its infancy - and so is your dream of building something big. Armed with nothing but BASIC and raw ambition, you take on your first client project. It's small, it's simple, and the pay barely covers the electricity bill. But it's a start. As the years pass, new programming languages emerge - each one a key to bigger contracts, tougher challenges, and greater rewards. From the structured precision of COBOL to the elegance of Python, you master the tools that shaped the digital age. Deadlines loom, bugs multiply, and clients grow more demanding. But with every delivered project, your reputation grows. You leave the garage behind, move into a real office, and build a team of programmers who share your vision. Four decades of computing history unfold before you - and it's up to you to write your chapter in it.
