Age 11, sixth grade, was when I was first exposed to BASIC. And I mean *really* *basic* BASIC. That was 1972, so we worked on TeleTypes with infinite rolls of Grade ZZZ paper and paper-tape punches to save our files. Later the school got a Linolex, which saved stuff on regular cassette tapes, then we got a Wang 2200, also with cassettes -- and a keyboard in alphabetical order!

Pretty sure that would have been 16 or 17, in 1973/74. Ah, the sound of of the paper tape reader on the TTY. That takes me back....

Anyone remember/have the Digi-Comp 1? The "First real digital computer in plastic"? 1963. I was 7. That counts. It needed programming. I got my first paying job in 1968 (12) in high school, programming something called the Wang calculator for the physics teachers. Been at it ever since. Now building eCommerce systems handling $9 billion USD annually. What a fun industry we chose!

Depends on what qualifies as a line of code:
If LOGO qualifies then it was 7
If BASICA/QBASIC qualifies, then my age was 9
Wrote for C++ when I was 11
Wrote for VB when I was 13
All on a 40/66/100MHz 486 with 8MB and later 16MB RAM.

Nice, though ToolBar would be a bit more interesting, if you know what I mean

Hmm. Somewhere between "You're aggressive and cantankerous, hiding a heart of gold" and "You've grown thick skin, and could probably battle smaller species of bears". Fairly apt, I think.

I am reserving my comment until MM posts his.
I respect his opinion absolutely.
