How old were you when you got your first programming job?

18

19

First programming job: 20
I volunteered my time for a few projects - early days, I didn't start my dev journey until I was 18 - 19

Also between these I was in sales and managed an e-commerce store for a retail business (the operations not the dev)

First professionally paid programming job: 24

24, but I wasn't a fan of technology long before that.

14. M
It was visual basic that got me into programming.
I enjoyed making my first lucky 7 program.
Then I moved to c/cpp with my first challenge to make a triangle using * as char.

It was an awesome experience.
Credit to my brothers too to whom inspired me to try out programming

26 I was an engineering student, decided to switch gears hard

20, during my 2nd years, I was doing freelance for cheap money.

15. I wasn't exactly productive though.

24 was first job I was actually paid for programming long term.

I had a simple website project paid at like 20 before once, but I didn't particularly enjoy that gig

22 got my degree and first dev job

Got my first internship in an IT company at 16

Don't know yet. I finished my study (software development) a few years ago and went to work as a Linux engineer, then.

Never been a professional, paid for, coder.
