Ya! It's happening in many Organizations.
I think this is due to people are not getting updated to latest technologies.
and Organizations are promoting them based on their seniority and personal relations with in organization

"Grow up!" ??? In my country you can get married at your age. How much more grown up do you want to be?
Just kidding. (But, you can get married at 16 here)
Kixdemp wrote: Is it fun?
Depends on who you work for. The most fun I had was why I had my own software company. I was working on software I loved. Now I work on public projects (i.e. government projects) and they are interesting, but not quite as much fun as I used to have.
Kixdemp wrote: Is it hard?
That depends on your skill level. I don't think any of the projects are hard, some are more challenging than others. But, if I were to work on a project for biometric identification then I'd probably say that was hard - but my area of expertise is in business applications (lots of database, web application, and services kind of things).

I live in Scotland (hence the flag in my signature). But what 16 year old really wants to get married? It happens, but it isn't very common.
Kixdemp wrote: I'll have to try having my own company then!
The main caveat to having your own business is that you don't just do software development. I spent office hours doing office chores, and the rest of the day doing the software development. I was working just about every hour there was available and often until 4 in the morning. If you are going to do that my advice is that you either do it now while you still have the energy to pull those sort of hours and still be excited the next morning, or wait until you have more experience so you work more efficiently within a standard 40 hour week.

Hmm... that sucks! On summer break, I oftenly code until like 7 or 8 in the morning... 
But yeah, I'll try to make an online RPG... and if I ever get a decent amount of players, I'll add something I hate: members-only features! I need to learn to pixeldraw though...  Thanks!

It's a ton of work, but the best feeling you can have. And I recommend you start now, that you don't have anything to lose, and nothing like a family to mantain. So you can risk more. You'll have fun, learn a lot, and who knows, you might just succeed!!

LOL - I'm not sure. I'm 37 and I've been doing this for 6 years, with a fair degree of success. But I'm not sure if I'd consider myself a grown up
Yes, it's fun. It's sometimes hard, but those bits are the most fun IMO.
I will just add that I'd been programming windows for < 6 months when I took my first paid job. I guess it depends on how you define 'professional' - I got lucky with that job, and I still had a lot to learn. Luckily, I was looking for opportunities to learn whatever I could, and I closed the gap as soon as I could, by working hard at work, and in my own time.

The most interesting thing I find is that at parties, I mention that I am a a computer programmer and they clam-up pretty fast. They often think, or even say "how boring"! But I find when I get the computer to do something that I want it to do, it is the most exciting reward ever!

I've been hanging around with code snippets since i was 12 years old (with an AMSTRAD 6128).Since i was 18 i'm working professionally as a programmer and now i'm 28.
It has its ups and downs as every aspect of life.Its rather rewarding(ethically talking) type of proffesion because it's a really creative one but in contrary it's quite cruel and tiring.Sometimes i feel very alone (me and my problems ).
i've set a threshold to myself to quit programming business about at the age of 32 and that's because i don't want to be a dinosaur.You need to constantly study study study and after an age you can no longer do that.So i dont want to end up as a ludicrous figure talking about e.g COBOL.Many people in my country still do that and its pretty sad.
But till then....happy programming.

I would have LOVED to live back in that time... 5.25" floppies... low-level languages... MS-DOS (and lower)... No Int... WAIT! No Internet?! Nevermind.

Nop.There were 3" floppies double sided. 5.25" were much much newer.

Hmm... What is it with the "double-sided" thingy? I don't think you could insert the floppy on both sides... could you? 
predragzakisevic wrote: not exactly.BASIC 1.1
BASIC? Yeah... I looked up some ColecoVision programming on Google, and it seems that many people used BASIC on it...
predragzakisevic wrote: CP/M (|cpm for those who remember)
I need to try that CP/M... I actually never tried anything below DOS 1.0... :->

Yes, 3" floppy disks were in a rectangular hard shell plastic case (you're thinking of 3.5" disks which were squarish and could only be inserted one way up)
3" floppies were never very popular and never really caught on. AMSTRAD was the only company that I can think of that ever used them.

I still have several boxes of 8 inch floppies. And a pair of drives to match. With double density and both sides (2 headed drives) one coule get 1.2MB on the things. I wrote firmware (8085 assembly) for the Fulcrum Computer Products OmniDisk. (Floppy (5.25 and 8 inch), hard disk (some interface I forget which) and RAM disk. I made it able to boot to the RAM disk as a joke. Little did I know that Brent (who paid me for the firmware) was making a battery backed up RAM card a huge 256K bytes!

That is utter crap. Your just lazy. Pure and simple. You just can't be bothered.
Look at people like Charlie Poole (co-author of NUnit), he transferred to .NET only a few years ago (he must be in his 50s or 60s) and he was previously a decades long mainframe guy before that.
