I have trouble thinking this 60 year old programmer exists. There were only 2000 computers in existence in 1960. Today a 60 year old programmer that spent a career in computer science is a very small group of people.

I'm going to wait and see how this really turns out.

1960? If one's career is considered to start at age 22, a 60-year-old would have started in 1974.
Good point :) To be fair I started writing code much younger, but I still chose a bad date.

I still think my main point is valid.
