    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 :)

    "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

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

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

                    I am 25 with 4.5 years of paid programming. I feel old when I see university students.
