I always see this argument but find it possibly disingenuous. Given the rates of turnover for programmers, or even non-programmers, I don't see how people can realistically think this. Young programmers have even more incentive to change jobs more frequently. It's easier to let the data speak for itself, from the BLS: the median tenure of workers ages 55 to 64 (10.4 years) was more than three times that of workers ages 25 to 34 years (3.0 years). A larger proportion of older workers than younger workers had 10 years or more of tenure. Among workers ages 60 to 64, 58 percent were employed for at least 10 years with their current employer in January 2014, compared with only 12 percent of those ages 30 to 34.
