Who's old and how old are you?
-
Had a thought over coffee - who is the oldest coder out there? I'm about to turn 54, been programming for 25 years, still enjoy it. I keep learning all "the new stuff" and am currently doing a project with asp.net/c#/mssql. I'm also curious - for those of you who age discriminate: who, what, when, where and WHY? Alright - bring it on :)
I am 36, my wife says I act like 63. So I guess I'm going onto 73 next year. On the plus side, by the time I am 41, I'll be 14 again :)

900 years old am I.
I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

Soon to be 62, feel like I'm 42 and act like I'm 12 according to resources that shall remain unnamed. At least I'm trying...very trying according to that same resource.

Isn't there a clause in the terms and conditions on CP thats says if your over 50 you can look but you cant touch? ;P

See, this is one of the reasons I like CP... There are mature people here, not a bunch of teenagers semi-communicating with "leetspeak" or "txtspeak"... And even when we DO have teenagers here, they tend to be more mature than their kin. Me, I'm a bit over 30... Programming for 26 years now, if you count a little kid writing guess-the-number and ASCII art games in Atari BASIC... Professionally for 14, full-time in the financial industry for 7. So definitely not one of the oldest, but apparently not the youngest either.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

We used to have a demographics page that displayed all that cool information, but I haven't seen it in a while. I'm just a youngish 56, coding on and off for about 35 years now. I haven't done it professionally since 1986, but I still prefer building my own tools over buying someone else's idea of how I should do things on a computer.

"When I'm 64..." comes two weeks tomorrow. First punched code in 1964. And I'm SURE I'm not the oldest. I have a couple of names in mind, (***** and ****) but (showing the wisdom of my years) decided redaction is the better part of valour. ;P I know there are other grandparents in CP, but these days many people get to that status earlier in life than I did.
