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:

27 (today)
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is not just only a science as well as art, and the challenges that a programmer faces, the constant risk of being outdated and always trying to keep the pace with the new coming technologies, they find that, programming is not something that suits them.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:

Well if I have not posted a b-day thread by 8am EST then either
1) I didn't notice the user name.
2) I'm too busy.
I know I've missed a few people in the past so by all means break the tradition if need be.
I'm 25. My birth date is given in my public profile.Quote:

when have a problem search google/groups and finding codeguru, put the homework there.- 21 - 25 - more and more homeworks, so "gurus, please, heeeeeelp! :( :o :confused: :cry: ;
however, some of them find codeguru a better alternative to computer games: a challenge to have more posts and gain more reputation bullets;
they have a lot of time, so very possble here always will be a poll peak.- 26 - 30 - now having a job, there is not so much free time;
(un)fortunately the Bill's guys thought about them and invented <Alt> + <Tab> to be quickly used any time the boss appears;
from this reason, the members number doesn't decrease so dramatically.- 31 - 35 - more and more responsibilities in the company;
descover MS Project and Rational Rose more delightful than programming languages.- 36 - 40 - the "31 - 35" drama continues.
- 41 - 45 - doing something more profitable;
remained few nostalgic people (like me).- >45 - kowing something from the left side of this tree;
(un)fortunately, actually there is no forum for them in codeguru.
NOTE: this is beta version and also open source. :)
Nice Ovidiu, but ...
Have I ever done this? :ehh:Quote:

If your boss also uses Alt + Tab, then you may get caught easily, but with the utility (at above link), the chances are less to get caught. Atleast I haven't got caught in the last 2 years with this. :rolleyes:Quote:

Well, I found also once a free tool that can quickly hide all the aplications those can make a boss nervous (that's good for his/her health). :)Quote:

The human gestation period is 9 months, not 12. If you've had kids, then I can see where you would think it takes 12 months, but no, it's only 9.
