Do software engineers stop programming at 35?
- Mikeb85 11y agoI think there's just enough young programmers in the sample that that's the highest mean age...
- rzzzt 11y agoHopefully not :) Check the "Density" tab to see eg. 53 year old programmers recorded for C# and Python.
- jrapdx3 11y agoEven better, looks like there are a few programmers (CPP and HTML) >60 years old, though the graph shows n=0 for those data points, so do those guys actually exist? If so, the oldest programmer is 86.4, now that's impressive.
- rzzzt 11y agoI was also wondering about that. Y-axis values are rounded to integers, even in the data source contained in a script node on the page.
- simmons 11y agoNot at all. That's just the median age, and I think the profession tends to have a lot of young people due to the size of the field at the time people chose their careers.
- Retra 11y agoOlder programmers are probably less likely to use Github.
