I think that's a silly statement to make. The average 40 year old will have nearly identical patterns, and I assure you that it's not limited to Facebook.
While there are certainly more new 20 year old developers than new 60 year old developers, they absolutely do exist; I've met maybe a dozen over the last year or two.

- astrodust 14y agoI've met many too, but like I said, most are former developers, or have been developers for some time. They're the ones with war stories about having to load their apps in on paper tape and they're not exaggerating.
- corin_ 14y agoAs a single data point, a colleague of mine is a 50+ developer, who was a nurse in the army until a little over a decade ago - and he learned for the sake of a career change, he didn't move into something that he was already doing on the side, or had done when young.
