		hoodunit on Sept 5, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: You’re How Old? We’ll Be in Touch This is what makes me wonder, is there actually a steep age bias and drop-off of older developers or are we just living a demographics change? I'm guessing there are far more developers today than ten or twenty years ago. When those developers age, will we see a more natural age distribution?

Yes. You also have to keep in mind that developers get paid a lot of money compared to most workers. Many can afford to retire early, and do.
