Mmm. I've been programming since 11. When I built my first computer (back then), it was soldering components to a PCB, not plugging a thing-that-only-goes-in-one-way into slots/sockets #1, #2, #3 etc.

So I guess I've been programming for longer than him, despite starting several years later in life. What "programming" means has changed a lot over the years though, I'll say that much.
