history: I have been trying to learn a new programming language and was able to, somewhat easily, knock out the first task i received at work. I work for a software company. I have been trying to learn a new language for some stuff. I knocked out my first task like a champ. That's great! Do you get a chance to learn new languages often? Well I have the opportunity_comma_ but rarely have the time to really devote to it.
current: My ex programs for insurance companies and they all use the same, ancient language for their statistics. She hasn't had to learn anything new for decades.
next: Yeah i get that. I work for a startup so things change pretty rapidly around here.
