Wow. Based on the number of responses here, we should start a club - "56 and still doing it".

Those of us born around 1960 came of age during the earliest days of personal computing. I guess a lot of us got hooked and are still at it!

An older coders club is an excellent idea, I'm in. Looking at the discussion for this and some other HN threads there's definitely interest, but this a horribly served segment, I think. Most material (blogs, videos, etc.) are done by and target the younger coders.

Sign me up, I have a bunch of friends who would join too. All late 50's

Likewise I have been the Manager/CTO/Founder route quite a few times. I find I like the coding problems driving my dreams more then the "how do I deal with/fire so and so" problems.

58. I still like to think my best work hasn't happened yet...

Coding since 1985 and still loving it. I consult now so I mostly work out of my own office. The key to my happiness has been working for small/tiny companies where software was super important. I got to wear a lot of hats that way.

58, programming since 1978. I can't imagine wanting to do anything else.
