Any other young developers out there?

[grand]

I am familiar with languages such as HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, and I plan on learning Javascipt soon.
Whenever I play games online, or on other forums, I always get called "noob", "retard", or I get belittled because of my age. Any other young developers experience this?

Why bring your age up in the first place?

 

[brsy]

Age is irrelevant if you're good. But yes, I'm also a young developer.

Just as brsy said, i've been developing retros, websites, layouts and shit since I was like 11

I still consider myself young. Even though I started close to 10 years ago.

 

[marles]

Been developing since 9... Now I'm 15...

 

[D4ll32]

I am a developer too

lol @ ^reply

But no, we're all 40 year olds.

 

[griimnak]

I started at 12 and got more into it around 16.
Are you like romanmonstaa, rocking that 9 years old. Or is it 10?

 

[Ecko]

It probably has to do with the fact you call yourself a developer.

I'm neither a developer or "young", but as someone with a business degree I can say that in the work environment the employer looks for the most skilled, not the most "senior". You've also got to take in mind if your company supports pensions then an older developer is more likely to retire sooner than the younger person, though the younger person is more likely to be hired in other higher salary companies so it's a complicated one for the employer.

 

[Altercationz]

I'm 16.

I seemed to be in a bad mood sorry. The internet is a cruel place btw. But keep practicing remember most programmers started with printing text to a screen
