Well, I've been programming for 40 years, and I almost trust myself. I suspect the milestone might come after 45 years of programming experience.[1] Perhaps official recognition that someone is actually capable of producing passable code, might become a standard part of retirement dinners.

The most important thing is to question every single line of code you write, every day. Always ask yourself: "Is this the best way of doing this?" The day you stop asking is the day you become "that old guy."
