apparently according to Google most Mongol leaders died in their 30s, the demographics in the Golden Horde were somewhat different than today. The guy who leads the Taliban in his 20s isn't exactly the Mozart of terrorism, it's just a dangerous job.

Everyone in the software industry may think they're Alexander the Great, but they're likely not. Most senior military staff is also old. What I'm saying is obviously that if you looked at merit, on average, software teams should be older than they are, not that it's physically impossible to have a good leader who is young.
