[redbluff]

53, been doing software and hardware since I was 10 and professionally since I was 22. Tried a team lead role a few years ago, pulled the pin after 2 weeks. Don't see any reason why I can't go on for another 10 or 20 years.

In most places I have worked I have been a younger dev, it was only when I started at my new place a couple of years ago that I became one of the 'old boys'. Interestingly most places I have worked seem to have an inverted bell curve for ages, with quite a few grads and then over 40's being the most populous. A lot of the middle ages seem to be in management or lead roles.
