The doubling rate of programmers has been 5 years for pretty much most of the industries history.
This means, right now, half of programmers have been doing it for less than 5 years.
This is the primary reason older programmers seem oddly rare, 87.2% of programmers are less than 15 years into their career, 75% less than 10.
- swagtricker 8y agoNow the interesting question is - what's the churn rate for those same programmers? Be it into seat-warming work like management, fluff work like "sales engineering", or exiting the software world completely?
- thekhatribharat 8y agoWhy do you think "sales engineering" is fluff? Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_engineering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_engineering
