#34I’m 34 and I’d say the 30s plus demo is what comments most here. I don’t know many peers who read HN regularly either even though I know a lot of engineers and founders in SV.

#35Close to 50. Been programming for fun since I was 6, for a living since I was 19. And now, thanks to LLMs, I'm thinking of leaving that behind and becoming the world's oldest apprentice electrician.
How does one go about finding an apprenticeship electrician position? Is that the regular path in this profession? Become an apprentice first?
That's the usual way yeah, you come in as an apprentice and work your way up. There are specialized job boards in addition to the usual general-purpose ones, which are often run by the government or a relevant union.
