I’m 40, and feel like I’m more in-demand than ever. YMMV, I guess.

  I've worked with loads of 40+ developers, even a few 70+.

    you are in the EU, wager?

      No, the UK. And the company with the oldest demographic was an American company based out of Seattle. The second oldest was another American company HQ'd in Portland.

        you found a 100 year old turtle and then claim that everything with four legs outlives a human then, metaphorically?

          I'm genuinely a bit confused here, you haven't worked with middle-aged and older developers? I don't think I've ever worked anywhere without someone at least in their 40s, including the startup I'm at now. Almost everyone in tech during the dot-com boom is at least middle aged now.
