How old were you when you first wrote a line of code ?

"If A is a success in life, then A=x+y+z. (Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.)"
I was 26, just out of the Air Force in 1965, working as a tech in manufacturing for GE, I coded on a coding pad in actual machine language, key punched the program in a Hollerith card (multi-punched 12 bits per column, three columns per instruction word - 36 bit words, 4 9 bit bytes per word - on an IBM 029 card punch), then booted the card into the GE 600 system in single step mode, and stepped through the program to verify a failing loop, then ran the program in loop mode and started scoping the wiring.

16, at the start of my apprenticeship.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

In the womb, if you consider DNA as code. ;) If you mean computer code, about 12, on a PDP/11. Marc

I was 8 and it was a simpler time (1957) and I was a member of the Secret squadron, here's[^] the details.

I'm sorry Mike I really liked you an' all, but now that you've uncovered your membership of the "Secret Squadron" I guess we'll have to kill you. Please do return your official membership card, your official Secret Squadron manual and be sure to also return your combination badge and decoder. Requiescat in pace. P.S.: Don't call us, we'll find you! ;P

Never mind the decoder Mike, errmm I was just trying to keep you busy. The SSES (Secret Squadron Execution Staff) should be at your doorstep any minute. Just a moment, did I really post this in a public forum. Arrghh, I guess we'll meet in a couple of minutes, wherever that may be. Laters! :doh:

10-ish. a Basic and/or Logo line of code.
I'd rather be phishing!

Yes, I can relate to that. I first got into programming when our "computer" teacher at my elementary school back in the early '80s brought in an Apple ][e with Logo on it. Thought it was really cool, and that's where it all started for me.
