Who is most senior programmer here.... ? say in programming from last 30 years or more... Although i have just started my career 6 years back as professional programming. [Edit]Here no question on skills measurement.[/Edit]
Thanks -Amit Gajjar
It's generally accepted that it's Henry Minute[^] who's coding career began with code punched into Stegosaurus fin plates, and executed using an array of uRaptor processors...

Was it a bug in his software that made them go extinct? :laugh:
It's an OO world.

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

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

Not me; my first programming job began in 1989 -- VAX BASIC on a MicroVAX 3600.

Years of experience does not directly translate into skill
True, but then real software development, like many other walks of life, requires experience - as it's the only practical way to actually acquire the skills needed by the profession. So, while it's true that you can work in this profession and not really acquire more than a basic set of development skills - you cannot acquire a larger set of technological skills without getting your feet wet.

Well, in 8th grade I was taught how to program in the boot code for the PDP-11, which would crash frequently when the mag drive drew too much power. So, you could say I was "employed" for a very important task. ;) Marc

I started in 1965, almost 50 years ago, my how time flies when you are having fun. Dave.

Does this[^] bring back memories? For me, the earliest I remember was the DG Nova 3[^] - I think I started the PDP 8[^] at university quite a few times when learning it's assembler, but I've managed to forget all about that. Them was the days! When the accumulator value was permanently shown - and changing - in LEDs on the front of the box! None of this wussy "rotating circles" to show it was busy, oh, no... :laugh:

I don't think you've gotten very many good answers. I started programming in 1969, and I consider myself one of the young guys. ...I first got paid for programming about 1971 (not sure of the exact date, but I remember the occasion).

Indeed they were. Having been 15 right when computers became affordable to regular people, that was quite amazing. When I was 18, my gf's father was one of the folks who was figuring out what transistors were good for, back when he was in his early 20's. Crazy stuff. Marc

I've been programming professionally for 30 years but I'm far from being the most senior, skilled or smart programmer you seem to be seeking out. /ravi
