29 is old, despite what others your age may insist.

Re: I feel old at 29. =(

I just (March 23) turned 27. With 40 being the new 30*, I don't think 29 is old. But, you're only "old" if you've settled for something you don't love. And the good news is you can always "quit your job" and start over.

Hell, at least wait until 30...

* - That's what "they" say.

Re: I feel old at 29. =(

Ha!

The fact that you're 25 and have 300+ rep while I have only 40+ rep makes me feel sad.

I'm obsessed with ages. My one consolation is that Alexander the Great didn't get his start until seeing a bust of Julius Caesar at 32. Taking into consideration life expectancy at that time, 80 is the new 30. We've all got plenty of time!

What does age and rep points on a forum have in common? I don't get it

29? Old?! OLD?!!!! Why, I... if.. what... when... splutter... grrr. I'm 38 and still young damnit, no matter what my work colleagues might say.:mad:

Mind you, I plan to go out to a rock night club this evening where I will almost certainly jump in the moshpit, headbang recklessly, get drunk and probably snog some 20 year old before the night's done so, if I am growing old, I'm doing so disgracefully and that's alright with me.

You have that the wrong way round. Caeser got upset when he saw a statue of Alexander because, by Caesers age, Alexander had already conquered the known world, and much of it that was unknown before he began his campaigns. Actually, the story's probably apocryphal but it's a nice way of expressing just how extraordinary Alexander was and how much he achieved in so short a time (he was dead at 32).

Uh, no. You sir, are an idiot......wait, quick wikipedia check confirms what you just stated. OK, so, wow, I guess I had that backwards. Damn university History requirement! However, the idea stands. Plus, Alexander The Great conquered his known world quite quickly. So, I think I feel worse than I did before...

Yeah, you're old, dude.

6 years old isn't that big. You can still beat him at basically everything :afrog:

If it is a her...well wait until she gets interested in boys to feel old...At least that is how I see it.

Nonsense! :) it depends on the available time you have to answer on the forum and the probability that you WILL get rep for your answers, not everybody takes time to do so, and since when you are on the forum. I don't think age is important in that case.
-------------------------------------------------

I'm 26, which I think is still considered young even if I know ppl that thinks its old but I think you only get old when you start thinking you are.

I think others are using the latest versions of VB like VB.Net (2008, 2010, etc..). That's why they don't have that feeling...:p

I do use VB.Net and C# with VS 2008 and 2010 (beta) but I used VB6 in the past. But yeah I guess that a lot of the guys around my age started with .Net.

Seeing as I'm 25 (I turn 26 in 5 weeks) and I started with QBasic (I also learned Basic, AppleBasic and CommodorBasic) then I went to VB3 then VB6 then .Net 2003, I guess I'm not in the norm for "guys our age", especially if "guys our age" start with .Net

Really? THAT is your criteria? What if I mentioned I've worked with VB4.... and before that VB3? Heck, I remember there was a time BEFORE VB... back then it was just B. :P
I cut my teeth on Apple BASIC, before moving on to PC & GW BASIC... then came Pascal, Assembler, then I started tinkering with dBase II ... eventually I learned C, then in the Air Force I was exposed to Ada, more Assembler, and even COBOL.

I started with QBasic and GW-Basic. There was a time, when we had to queue up for a computer, since each of us could not have a separate computer in school.

You got only 10 minutes and in that 10 minutes you had to finish writing your code.
