Steve Simons joins The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss his career as a lifelong programmer and founder of Restyn, including how early exposure to computing shaped his approach to software, leadership, and service. Steve describes writing his first line of code on an Apple II in kindergarten, then “chasing the computer” through school clubs, early programming communities, and a progression of languages and systems spanning multiple eras of modern computing. He also reflects on building a digital computer in college using an 8088 processor, coding in assembly, and using an oscilloscope as a display, as a way to understand computing at a foundational level.
