Developer's Age !

I don't think it should depend on the age. As far as one is enjoying coding he should continue with that. :)

OK, that's good but have you ever felt that it's time to stop and shift to consultations or project management ?

Hello, Just wanted to know if there are people out there willing to complete their lives in programming, in other words, how do you plan your career vs. your age, I have seen developers aged at 40s and 50s, do you think that the one should quit development at a certain age and shift to technical consultations or project management, and if you are old, and still into code, does this make you small or big ( I think it varies from one country to another ) ? Please share your experience here !

Dear I think the programming is very exhausting process, so I think the max age I can do this job is 35 after that I think team leading and project management will be more suitable for me. At last I would thank you for posting this interesting issue that I was in needs to here other voices about it. thank you Ahmed A. Korany

Not yet.. Although I am currently handling a team lead role. But also doing sufficient amount of coding work. :) Honestly speaking now is the time when I started enjoying the coding work. ;)

I think you've started to enjoy it because it's less than before, as you're leading now;)

Being a teamlead doesn't make you stop programming, sometimes the team gets stuck at some snippet of code, and you have to write it, also sometimes you will need to do code refactoring!

:-D May be correct. But what I think is now I am having some better understanding of the technology and the domain, so I like to play with all those. :)

Sometimes, you will have to work as a lead ,and a developer as well, to meet some deadline, this is not the perfect job, but it's inevitable!

And I think also coding requires less intelligent and knowledge if compared with analysis and software architectural design, so I consider the coding stage is building blocks for the next ones. Ahmed A. Korany

Only if one desires to do so. To be honest I find the notion that an engineer with many years of experience "should move on" to be obtuse. Before working in software I worked on the hardware side and, at least in my experience, the seasoned, high-quality engineers were seen as assets. And it was often a very big deal if one decided to move on to greener pastures. Why? Because it was correctly recognized that these individuals posses specialized knowledge that can only be gained through many years of experience. -- modified at 10:01 Sunday 15th July, 2007

Compared to what? Coding is a cakewalk compared to paving rodes and building houses. :)

I didn't say that old developers are not good, absolutely they are top-notch, I speak about career perspective
