    If he had started my job at the age of 6 and already have achieved an A level in Maths, then yes.

      He's certainly got the language skills to fit into a modern IT development team

            My job mostly involves being shouted at by traders and putting up with a horrific commute.

            I reckon 12 year olds would fail on both counts.

              While you may think this is a bobism it actually originates in scientific computing where it's quite common to refer to programs as "codes"

              Very few codes scale to thousands of processors today or are being aimed at this level of scalability. If current development timeframes continue, the majority of ISV codes will not be able to take full advantage of petascale systems until three to five years after they are introduced.”

              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
