Ask HN: How many years of programming experience do you have?
1 point by jakejake on May 1, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
I'm curious to know how much programming experience (personal and professional) most fellow HN'ers have if you're willing to share?


I myself have been programming for about 25 years, 15 of them professional. Started out on the Timex Sinclair that plugged into a regular TV!


Started with Applesoft BASIC and IntegerBASIC about 28 years ago personally, started getting paid professionally 21 years ago.


I have been programming personally for around 10 years and professionally for 2.


Started about 17 years ago, 12 professionally.
