As nearly as I can make out from perusing my old time sheets, I started in GemStone either the second week (6-10) of September, or the fourth week (20-24) of September, 1993.
So: twenty five years. Half my life (turned 50 earlier this month).
.
About the only other thing of equally prominent statistic is Philmont hiking. The first thirteen years don't even count (cannot attend until age 14); at age 39 (so, 25 years of "possible") I had hiked 10 times; 40%.

Do you mean you're older than Robert?
What's terrifying to me is what percentage of the planet's population is younger than Krakii (i.e. "NOT Robert")....
