I have to agree with the parent post here. What do you think the median age of HN commenters is? I'd say it's probably mid-late 20s, in which case most people graduated after the great recession was largely over and only experienced the COVID blip that wasn't a cyclical recession in the normal sense and mostly helped tech workers instead of harming them.
- intended 3y agoThe median age here would be 40s.
- pc86 3y agoBased on what?
- intended 3y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5536734 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5536734 Based on that. And this - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2322031 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2322031 Which has more links to older surveys. Thus 40.
- ted_dunning 3y agoSame point applies. Somebody who is 40 has seen the last bit of one recession that didn't hit tech as hard as the dot com crash (or as hard as 1991 or 1980).
