The Language of Computing

Sometime in the late 1980s, a young Hodson inserted a cassette tape into the uniquely designed tape-drive on the keyboard of his family’s Amstrad CPC 464. In those early days of home computing, if you wanted to play a game, you learned rudimentary troubleshooting skills pretty quickly. Working around all-too-common crash screens, Hodson booted, then rebooted.

Getting a game to load, he found, could be as exciting as the game itself. And there were other features of the technology that piqued his curiosity. How, he wondered, were the commands that he typed making graphics appear, move and change on the screen?

At school, he was exploring a love of language that, in the UK’s hierarchical educational system, would mean a career in academia. But for Hodson, an interest in how words function fit into a bigger picture.

“I think that’s intrinsically related to wanting to know how computers work,” Hodson said. “You’re not happy to just take something and use it. You’re looking at it and thinking, ‘Where did that come from?’”

Hodson took this fascination with what made systems tick and went down a then quite non-traditional path. Rather than continuing with school, he took his largely self-taught body of tech knowledge and landed in a jack-of-all-trades IT role at a small law firm in Peterborough.
