30/high school drop-out/systems administrator (with 18 years experience)



You've been a systems administrator since you were 12? That's hardcore.


Me and a friend have a running joke/friendly rivalry about how I started coding when I was 7, and he started when he was 6... but he's a year younger than me, so we have the same number of years of experience.


I used to think that .. Until I turned '30 and realized I'd given more than 1/2 of my life to a career that I now find rather unfulfilling financially, intellectually, and personally.
