Prostitutes of the Information Age (Score 1)

The real sad thing is that there are still 35+ year old programmers (although I have all the respect for older COBOL programmers. I know of no young people who still use it). Shouldnt they be product-manager-types now? Mentoring/telling us young people what to do?? Are we sure that the old people hottly debating this topic arent just the old-hacks who couldnt cut it?? I hope to god I am not programming when I am 30 even. Programmers, are the prostitutes of the information age. Its pure grunt work -- leave that for the new grads who actually think programming is cool
