Perhaps it really is an ad, but if it is real, I am impressed that the person thinks at 56, he has enough runway in life to make a serious contribution by coding :-)...I like that attitude.
- mgkimsal 10y agowhy wouldn't he? plenty of folks much younger than me have made 'serious contributions' in far less time than I have.
- grok2 10y agoI'm growing old too and I find it hard to motivate myself to take up new things that are very long term -- somedays I wonder what is the point in learning a new programming language or framework and I am nowhere as old as him. Which is why I liked his attitude. It's refreshing and inspiring.

- hardlianotion 10y agoIf he is in good health, he is almost certainly right to think this...
- melling 10y agoWho said that he needs to make a serious contribution? Maybe he gets a well paying job and produces good work for a decade.
- brudgers 10y agoIt's not unrealistic to suspect that at age 56 someone could code for 25 years or more. Retirement is more and more of a myth anyway these days...I mean social security ain't going to pay for a condo overlooking the 7th fairway and trips to Europe.
