My mother was a programmer in the mid to late 60s, a job at which she met my father — at the time married with four children. They were married in September 1969, a month before my brother was born.
I doubt that my siblings and I are the only 40-something children of two programmers, but I suspect that there are fewer 30-somethings that can say the same thing
- eleumik 9y agoprobably not the only ones but the first I hear of, you and your brothers also programmers ?
- pacaro 9y agoMy older brother is an IT manager, I'm a Principal Engineer at Amazon, my sister has worked variously in real estate, finance, and education. Of my four half-brothers, I believe that two work in the industry (we're not close). One certainly wrote a book on X programming before I even knew what X was!
- eleumik 9y agofantastic ;-)
- drakonka 9y agoI'm 28 and both of my parents were engineers back in Ukraine (at the time Soviet Union). My dad was not primarily a programmer (ended up becoming a marine surveyor), but I am fairly sure he had to be involved with it at some point in his studies and career back then. I remember my mom would bring stacks upon stacks of used punched cards for us to doodle on to avoid wasting blank paper.
