    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 :)

    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.

      I still use plectrums that I bought before you were born.

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

        "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

                  Oh I know, you still use plectrums made from mammoth's teeth.

                    I'm over 60 and I've been paid for programming since 1971. I'm also a college student again, and still programming.
