It's not the number 39 that bothers me so much. It's that I'm the second-oldest person in my peer group. The senior services engineer at work is actually quite a bit older than me (I think he's in his 60s?) but the company CTO was only 23 when he hired me!

And then to make things worse, I got a really early start in life. You're 32? That means I've been programming since before you were born. I built my first website when you were your youngest child's age.

Stuff I took for granted as part of the history of my profession? People I work with have never heard of it. ("What's Netscape?")
