      Indirectly I did.

      In my first perm job they had to get rid of an old Microfocus reporting system.

      I did the dev work to re-platform and then supported it for a few years, then went straight into contracting.

      Its still my main technical skill I sell now

              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
