27 small company owner. Full stack developper. Java, C# ASP.NET MVC, python, etc.

26 years old, Manager at an MSP, develop solutions for problems in C# and PowerShell

41, background in sql then moved to oop. mostly .net c#, some spring Java experience. trying to keep up with the modern yougins, doing a lot js now, front to back. node, React and angular. feeling more functional in node.

14 :/, started off with python, now I muck around with web development

17 y/o, I have 4 years of experience in Java and 2 years of HTML, CSS, JS and C#.

What I do now: mostly school stuff in C#, and Minecraft modding in Java (actually really fun).

Minecraft modding is what got me into programming when I was 13. I'm really glad I did.

I'm 15, primarily focused around OOP Java & C++, but have worked with PHP backends and typical web design.

I also started off my days of programming through Minecraft (which seems to be promoting kids into programming now) as a Bukit plugin dev alongside the other hundreds of 12 year olds making plugins.

Since then I've still kept those roots, but have branched into game development in Java and Lua. I'm still looking in the field of programming as a future, but who knows where my decisions will take me?!

18, in university, Lua dev for a MTA server, been coding python and JS for about a year and a half.

23yo, 5 years of web-based languages (html, css, js, ajax, php, mysql), front to back, mainly graphic designer, now teaching myself c# in unity. Started programming 10 years ago, pascal and later php. Now running small company for a third year, but still a student lol.

I'm 18, taught myself HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP when I was 11 by reverse engineering sites like google and Facebook. It was my dream to build one of two things, a social media or a search engine, so I did both my senior year in high school. I'm now in college learning python, java and a few other programming languages that I never got around to teaching myself but knowing php makes the programming languages easy to learn
