What is your age?
I thought there was a thread like this, somewhere ... :ehh:
I will be 17 on August the 29th
ill be 24 on february 17th. :)
All young people here :D
I'm amazed that ages here are very young! It's different the way people count their age for each country. In my country I'll be 30 years old at June 6th. I was born at 1976. So how old am I in your country? hope it's very young too.
I just found out that my age is 28 in western country. But still seems that I'm oldest here :((
heh wait till all those moderators to respond.. theyre all very old..Quote:

but your name is not in the "Today's Birthday" list...?? :confused:
Well, may be thats because of the time difference, its 10:22 A.M here (Pakistan times) :rolleyes:Quote:

In my country it's very hard to see old developer. Yeah~ It's truely sad thing for computer technology. When people got old they become wiser. But many peole here have to be a manager or a salesman when they old. So it's very hard to see 46 years old developer. Sure, some of them want to be still as a developer but company owner doesn't let them do that. I wonder if these things are similar in the other country.Quote:

It also depends upon the technology, like I've seen few 35+ web developers around me, but 35+ C/C++ geniune programmer...none. At the same time, there are people who have more then 20-25 experience and still they like to program (specially codeguru has alot of them ;) )
In my country, the life of programmers end at th age of 30 maximum and I've seen guys who are so good in this fieald, even worked under multinational companies in the US and when they come back, they can't find a job. Its just becaus they are considered too old and expensive....Quote:

Well, I've been told that frequently and even by the people who are in the industry as well. Its not necessary that a very good doctor can also be good engineer. Every one has some natural skills and when it comes to programming, alot of people come into this profession because they find good salaries being paid to them (may be not all around) and when they find that programming is not just only a science as well as art, and the challenges that a programmer faces, the constant risk of being outdated and always trying to keep the pace with the new coming technologies, they find that, programming is not something that suits them. Some quit early, some later, but only those who have the passion and ability to move along with the learning curve, they survive.Quote:

Try one thing. Ask the same question to any managrial personal that how do he feels. I'm sure that the person who told you that, will not be manager himself :p. The term "Manager" also differ place to place. Being a manager in some software development establishment means alot more responsiblity then programmers. Its not easy to be a manager either in this field :rolleyes:
The only logical soltuion that I found is, either quit it and find something else to do, or accept it with it challenges and be ready for them. If you stop, you loose, game over :cool:
yeah, I want to be a senior engineer rather than a manager in my 30's...Quote:
