I think how long you are programming should start with the time when you first got paid / have customer for your development , all before is learning but IMHO there is huge difference myself , started when I was 14 , got paid to program whe

whole lifetime of programming (assuming you start late in your early 20s) that gives you 35+ years of programming things that 5 year experience can't even scratch. Most of programming is not about programming language that easy part. My exp

I don't see how smart it is to work 10-12 hour days and for sure you are underpaid. Think a bit , you work 3000 hours a year as opposing to 1800-2000 , which turns your 250K/year salary to 160K and you don't have life. Sure it works for sin

One page resume might work for people with not so much experience but it is very hard to put 25+ years of work in one page except obvious "I solve your problems for money" :-). Just plain listing all places of work with dates can be 20+ lin
