I am around 60 years old and have been a programmer since I was 19, I have worked in assembler Z-80 ,6303, Dec PDP-11 and some 80486, c, c++, C#, various BASIC type languages QBasic,VBA/VB/VB.net and 4GLs (Accell/Unify, i4GL, xBase) on Windows and Unix.
In the more obscure areas I also have worked on BOS Cobol, Go (GoLang), BCPL, Tripos.
I appreciate the need for software to work all the time; I sell products under my own name, including a programming language and a business intelligence project.
I had a long term relationship with an insurance company where I wrote a system in Access/VBA/C++ and an SQL Server database which ended up with over 2.5 million policies. Remember, if you get the data capture wrong, you can't generate renewals!
I am happy to do web work, but I am better suited to backend or simple frontends.
I even got involved in email marketing and ended up with a 500,000,000 row SQL server database. You can't solve the problems of a database of this size just by throwing hardware at it.
I decided to retire a few years ago and hated it, so I am now looking to rebuild my client list.
