  3. 65+ and won't stop coding on Why Coding At Fifty May Be Nifty · · Score: 2

    Disclaimer: I'm 65 and have enough money to retire, go fishing, whatever.

    I wrote my first app in 1967 - a failed attempt to multiply two matrices in Fortran.

    Today I code 3D apps.

    WebGL, libraries such as Three.js and the whole FOSS thing enable me to build stuff I've been dreaming about for decades - no large teams, no huger servers, no VCs needed.

    I'm having a blast! << maybe one day /. will allow me to show that sentence using particles and shaders...
