    I guess that depends if a Commodore 64 counts.

    Assuming it does, about 8.
    Assuming it don't, around 16

    wrote my first code at age 10. I did read a book on holiday about html, css & js so tried it when I was home again but gave up within an hour. I started to learn to code when I was 14.

    However, I started learning programming properly at 18 yo.

    At around 10-12 years old. GW-Basic on an MSX computer. I remember typing programs from books.

    I also remember loading games from cassette tape, where you had to type "load" (or something) at the command prompt, and then press play on the cassette player.

    But with serious programming, I think it was at university when I was 18 years old.
