Why do people start learning so latteee

[chrisname]

14 is not "late".

[3qX21hU5]

14 years old is late? Hell that is very early to learn any programming language. A lot of people don't start until they hit college (18), I didn't start until 22 and a bunch of users here didn't start until 30+.

14 Is not late to learn, think of it this way once you get out of college you will have around 8-10 years experience under your belt, which puts you way ahead of the curve.

I think I started when I was 12, but I didn't really learn much the first 2 years. Anything before 14 years is a bit unnecessary. You won't get that much out of it if you don't have the logical thinking needed that you get that later.

I started at 11 with event-grid editor software and then started learning C++ from this site the summer before my freshmen year of high school. I'd say it was definitely worth it :)

[ETAkoG1T]

It is still not necessary to get a good job in the industry to start that early.

[N36fSL3A]

Wat. So what does that make me?

[ETAkoG1T]

Fred what do you mean?

[N36fSL3A]

You said anything below 14 is too early.

[cire]

I think that makes you premature.

[ETAkoG1T]

But seriously though, Fredbill30, 40% of what you say has something to do with age. What is up with that? Does it really matter that much how old you are, too us?

[N36fSL3A]

Actually, *fixed my reply before I typed anything that has to do with age*

[twiggystardust]

Yea you say 14 is late, man I must have started in my stone-age years at 25
