I started 20 years ago. I'm 46. Graduated Electircal Eng. I love everything about this job. Still can't believe I get paid to program. I've done it all. 6502, 6800, 68000, 80186 controlers, on to C, C++, Java, C#. Windows clients, X-Apps. Windows, Unix, client server. DB-Vista, Ingres, Oracle, SQL 2000. Can't wait for the next beter way to deliever cool apps to clients. Some last 2 years, some run for 12 years or more. Right now I'm working on an app that actually changes the business model for an entrenched market segment.
C++ / Java / C#.... who cares. Learn about each, its strengths and weakness... Over commit and crunch to make it.
What did Senna say? "On a given day, a given circumstance you think you have a limit and you go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think ok, this is the limit. As soon as you touch this limit something happens and you realize that you can suddenly go a little bit further"
Only regret... Wanted to develop games.
Next life!
