It would be very interesting to cross correlate with age. Some programmers were exposed to code at a very young age. IMO, programming for 10+ yrs by age 20 is far more fascinating of a statistic than say programming for 15+ yrs by age 50.
I ticked 10+, and I am 26. I was designing 'web pages' when I was in middle school, albeit geocities html, but then had my first programming class (C++) when I was 15. Curly braces do not phase me.
- ra 14y agoI first learned BASIC on a Sinclair ZX81 which I got for my 7th birthday. I'm now 37 so I just scrape into the 20+ range.
- ra 14y agooh wait.... 30 years! Now I feel old.
- sanxiyn 14y agoI too am 26 and I ticked 10+. I wrote what I consider to be my first real program -- a program with users -- in 2001.
- canop_fr 14y agoI'm 40 and I don't know exactly if I started at 9, 10 or 11.
- spqr 14y agoI turn 40 in 2012 and I started on my Commodore 64 with BASIC and 6502 assembly in 1982. Been in IT professionally since I was 17 in 1990.
- weilawei 14y ago19 years (a few months shy of 20) and I'm 23. I started with my dad's Commodore 64 and the BASIC reference manual. Flashing colors on the screen, followed by very simplistic text adventures.
