30, nearly starting to come down the other side of this curve
I'm going to guess that come twenty years time the curve will just have shifted with you. So, really, you're just at the cutting edge :)

I find it hard to imagine sites like hn and reddit when the bulk of the tech savvy users are 40+.

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing. I'll change that. Thanks!
Message to the future: there were ~30 people who had voted 11-20 by the time the switch was made to break it up into two sections. To figure out the actual distribution of people, you'll have to subtract 30 from the 16-20 range and then compare that with the 11-15 range, and then add back in the 30 votes distributed correctly.
I'm 28 myself, seems like 25-30 are the 'inbetweeners'.
For instance, capturing situations like: Are you a 65 year old grandfather that feels younger through the interaction with the core crowd here? Are you a 12 year old aspiring hacker that seeks the maturity of the seemingly 20-something base contrary to the peers of their own age?
Hey Timothy, Emrah here. How did you set up this poll? I'd like to do one. (I answered both and found useful) Thank you:)

If you're happy doing what you're doing now, then my guess is the same thing. Like me. For over 20 years.
>If you're happy doing what you're doing now Immeasurably. >Like me. For over 20 years. Fair chance I'd be retired by then unless I had a nasty divorce or something. But who knows?
Possibly. The odds are pretty bad for retirement at 40 though. Seems to be those who are successful / lucky enough to exit (making an assumption about your retirement plan), are also the kind of people that tend to just start another company or be an involved smart-money investor.
I used to think I would retire. I have enough mostly-passive income to live on, but here I am doing another startup.
YMMV
Funny pattern in responses. People on the younger side ( 30) seem to be humble and self-deprecating, but still with that unmistakable hacker spirit. I'm 28 myself, seems like 25-30 are the 'inbetweeners'.
