Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Boy this is what I figured, a large percentile of 20 to 30 year olds. This forum is not that balanced. Come on 35 to 55+ year olds Cast your vote! We need some elders to balance the scales. Tell us some war stories of days past!
It may be more appropriate, if you want to measure, in how many years of (professional) experience one has instead of age. For example, I have currently been programming for 22 years, with 11 years of professional experience.

Programming for ~9 years, professional for around 5 (depending on how you define "professional")
Feyd, I'm a curious to know what kind of programming you were doing at age 5 (and what got you started so young)
My first computer was given to me at 5. Moving far too often is what kept me at them. No one knew how to use it and no one could help teach me, so I read the manuals myself and figured it all out.
I define professional as "primary source of income."
HTML - 10 years
PHP - 3 years
Professional - 4 months
Studly - All my life
Chance to use studly in a post - Priceless (ok, that was probably not the right context, but what the hell, we're all friends right?)
I'm like feyd, moving constantly is my primary reason for staying on computers (military brat). Can't say I've ever read a manual, I just poked around with things until I found answers.
