    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 :)

              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. Cheers, Peter
