About Michael

Raised by wolves in the harsh dry deserts of Antarctica, Michael had grown up to live a life of absurdities, truancy, and geekery. As an infant, his first computer — made of a block of wood, Lego®, a black magic marker, and tracing paper — he had managed to create his very first piece of software, written in brainfuck. To his surprise, he had ended up creating THE GREATEST PROGRAM IN ALL OF THE WORLD! After secretly patenting his new technology, it was then that he decided to display it to the world. Whilst conducing in a plethora of marketing efforts, Hertzberg struck gold and sold his sole proprietorship to the highest bidder; it was then that he began his life as a web developer, creating innovative, semantic, and scalable code, in PHP, the language of the gods — and not that Ruby shit.
