I'm 46. The oldest thing I can find online is from 1987. (I totally forgot I wrote it.) http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/coda/src/coda/coda-src... (and various other files in that directory) Sorry it's a bit boring, but the "online" requirement kind of skews the answers, doesn't it? Should I upload some more-interesting older code so it can be online too? :)
34, and the oldest code of mine online is 11 years old: http://sourceforge.net/projects/count/ "The count program is a very simple utility that recursively counts the size of directories, optionally producing a per-directory breakdown of usage." Ah, nostalgia. There are closed Solaris SPARC specific bugs in the issue tracker :)
Impressive after all these years still racking up downloads:)
The best part about this horrible, -horrible- code is that it was actually a vast improvement over the codebase it was built upon.
I think you get a CVE advisory when you google it - not my proudest moment. But seriously, I am still pretty proud that as a 14 year old that my phpbb mod ended up installed on some pretty massive forums (my favourite was steve vai's website, but it isn't live anymore, of course! :p) it solved someone's problem, at the end of the day.
37, when I was 13 I wrote an equation solver for the C64. It was a simple program, but had a nice GUI and a catchy name: Determinator. I sent it to a German computer magazine and they paid me 200 bucks. It was the first money I earned with programing and it made me really proud. Almost a quarter of a century I accidentally found that Determinator is still alive: http://plus4world.powweb.com/news/710
I am 28, I started writing code at 9. Started writing AOL "proggies" at about 11. Wrote mail servers, mass mailers, and some other fun tools for distributing "warez". My handle was "chud" (shamefully). I wrote tools called Tragic, Mystified, and Tsunami -- all still found on random angelfire sites. This one still has screenshots of some of my programs: http://amp.00server.com/server.html Other links: http://www.freew…
was on AOL but not as a programmer:) Yahoo! chats maybe:)

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Spiders / bots / something like that?
It's pretty bad haha, but that was me at 14.
I'm 21 - this project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/chatspot/files/ was last released in Dec 2005. So I guess I was 14. I guess there are older versions on there from when I was 13. The best part about this horrible, -horrible- code is that it was actually a vast improvement over the codebase it was built upon.

I'm sure most people have written code with vulnerabilities over the years. I'm sure I have. Just most of it isn't worthy of being noticed :)
I printed it with a dotmatrix, and still have it.
