    Who cares? Years of experience does not directly translate into skill...

    Yes exactly... seniority is not directly related with skills but it is related with experience... there is no device or method to measure skills perfectly :)

      Who cares? Besides, you haven't defined "senior" yet. The number of years doesn't matter if all you've done in that time is write COBOL and hide in your cube the entire time.

          Bob. But did you intend to mean the oldest programmer here? as in years of existence on planet earth?

                For many of us here the experience of temporality is a flux orbiting levity whose apogee approaches timelessness, and whose perigee is senility. Of course, this is a fiction created by the four-billion years, or so, old practical joke of so-called "evolution," which formed the sorry bags of meat-over-bones in which we hallucinate, pretending what we are conscious of is ... reality. Fortunately, we now have another eternal moment of ordinary miraculous in which to be new, forever ... :) Happy New Year !

                “I'm an artist: it's self evident that word implies looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying : 'I know all about it. I've already found it.' As far as I'm concerned, the word means: 'I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.'” Vincent Van Gogh

                    I remember (with great fondness) those heady times in the mid-70s when you'd laboriously "type" your code on a deck of punched-cards wrapped in a piece of paper and an elastic band and put them on a counter and wait for them-thar computer operators to run them through the card reader. Sometimes, you'd try and strike a rapport with the operators in the hope your deck of cards would make it to the top of the stack. It was all so analogue then. I've been churning out shite code "professionally" since about 1978/79.

                    If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

                          No, he doesn't write bugs. Possibly he uses so many of them they died out though... :laugh:

                                        say in programming from last 30 years or more...

                                        I started programming in 7th grade, so that would have been when I was 12 or so. In August, that'll be 40 years. Marc

                                          But were you employed to do so?
