    Damn it, just saw that I am longer member at Codeproject than some of my work colleagues are alive. :-D Does that make me feel old? Nope. Am having fun with that. How many are members here since 20+ years and still active?

      I think I may have been? But I lost my original account at some point I think during a codeproject upgrade, or maybe I just locked myself out of it.

              Agree, I look at some stuff now and it doesn't make much sense to me. I remember spending a weekend learning C from K&R, so I could start a new project the following week. Now it takes me as long as I spent on that project to learn any new language (or even some features).

              Since I started heavily back into C++, moving from C# as a primary I've been so lost in learning the nooks and crannies that I don't have time for other languages. The blessing and curse of C++ is that it takes more than a single lifetime to master.

                    Haha, i think even with just C++17 you're looking at more than a lifetime. The problem is not in mastery of the syntax and core functionality, but in how to apply it. There is so much magic in the application of C++ fundamentals to do amazing things that there are rabbit holes everywhere. It sometimes seems endless. template alone contains worlds.

                          My first "professional" gig, was when I was 15 years old in '78. Programming some office utilities in UCSD Pascal. So 45 years since then. But I started programming personally much before then. I think I first started learning all this when I was 10, and actually got to play with a friends TRS-80 a few years later. In that time, Ive got work with so many types of software - embedded video software, modding system Bios software, a the way through to major web sites, enterprise and gov't systems. Its been a wild ride 😉

                                      Professional coding: equally since 1986. Hobby since 1980 and I am still doing it. Something about it must be fun. :)

                                        22 Years and 1 month... but what counts as "active".... I haven't done any real development for over 10 years... but I always have a look around the lounge every morning ;-)

                                          Damn it, just saw that I am longer member at Codeproject than some of my work colleagues are alive. :-D Does that make me feel old? Nope. Am having fun with that. How many are members here since 20+ years and still active?

                                          Apparently I've been visiting since July 2001. 22 years and 2 months. And yes, I'm most definitely still active.
