Yes, the thought of a 99+ yo person who's been programming
for almost 33+ years is indeed pretty scary.

OTOH, if you were _behind_ me by 13 years, rather than ahead,
then programming for 7 years out of 21 wouldn't be (scary).

(BTW, I've been programming for over _25_ years now -- more than
half of my life...).
