Yup. I started web development when I was 5. There's a lot of very good, important things that you won't learn working as a kid (conflict resolution, dealing with bad business requests/requirements, etc), but at the same time, it's not like that experience is completely inapplicable either. If nothing else, 29 years of perspective on how web development has evolved and developer discussions means I have a radically different perspective than an 18 year old who decided to start learning to code last year.
