I'm a 56 year old programmer from New Zealand. I moved to the US to join a hot Silicon Valley RISC-V startup earlier this year. I think the average age of our software team is probably over 50. Certainly the median is. My previous job (and my first ever outside NZ) was working for a multinational electronics company in their Moscow Russia R&D lab, a job I got when I was 52.

Working on semiconductors/electronics is "old tech" that is still very important. It's been around for quite a while. Compare to Fortran or supercomputers. Was important, isn't much so these days, although is still used. What I'm saying is that you got on a train that has been running longer than some other trains, hence you meet older people on the train. As someone who has little interest in management I hope to be as successful as you, in this sense of picking long distance trains.
