I’m 48, started as a web dev at age 30. I’ve been at a non-profit for quite awhile so not big tech and not big tech $ but I like my job and coworkers.

Old enough to know better but young enough not to care.

I forgot to say I'm 25 myself, started coding like 2 years ago maybe, that said, I'm not a coder. I vibe code only.

About to turn 64. Started coding on paper in the early 70s, on a home machine in 1978.
