Don't think so. People in my country are in average old (Germany), we have long standing history in IT, than any other western nation (see CCC for example), but despite both of these, I can count on one hand how many seniors I have seen at work in different companies. Finding a 50+ year old programmer, is like catching an unicorn. Our industry is full of over time and late hours. Full of pressure because of time constraints. And all that focused on only on small part of our body. No wonder that so many get hurt.
