My name is Robert Martin. Folks started calling me Uncle Bob in 1989.
I wrote my first code in 1964 at the age of 12. So I’ve been a programmer for over half a century.
Programmers are my people, regardless of race, creed, or gender.

If you write code, you are part of my professional family. I am here on twitter to offer you the benefit of my years of successes and failures.
I am also a curmudgeon. I was raised on “Father Knows Best”, “Bewitched”, and “The Donna Reed Show”. Those neural pathways are deeply engraved. They can change; but it takes time and effort. You’ll have to bear with me.
From time to time I will create a blog, or a twitter thread, or a book, or a video. In the mean time, if you ask me a question I will try to answer.
I’m the old guy in the corner who’s been around the block a few times. I’m sometimes grumpy, but usually approacheable. But if you tramp across my lawn, or make loud noises outside my window, I might yell at you.
