After responding to that rant asking our ages I realised how much fucking time I have wasted. I'm not afraid of aging, but man, if I had started learning programming two or even one year ago I'd know so much more right now. But fuck, I've been procrastinating life for 21 years. 21 FUCKING YEARS!

I'm 30 and due to various circumstances I've only had a few small programming jobs until now. My current senior is only a few years older than me. When other people my age are retiring, I'll still be coding alongside my "grandchildren". Perhaps we all believe we started too old because everything is moving so fast in our sector.

@gitcommit Unless you're 40, I think you're overreacting a bit. What, should you be coding since you were 4?

Yip i am assuming you are 40±. Maybe update your avatar so we can take you seriously. :)

@jsframework9000 yeah I get your point. It's kind of an irrational thought that comes to me when I'm not doing anything. The thing is that programming is my only key to independence, and untill I can't do it professionally, I'm stuck with my ddficient family, which I love but right now I'm the only responsible member of it and I'm tired of everyone's bullshit here. Every year I wasted is a year extra stuck in the same house(s) with my family.

I know that feeling when I am in my own way to finish something or even start with it ..
