Depends on where you work, obviously. In my organization (at a FAANG), people in their 40s are probably a (very slim) majority.


I'm also at a FAANG, and work with a lot of people in their 40's


They obviously exist but from a quick and dirty google search it looks like there was roughly 500k-600k software engineers in 2000 and over 4 million today in the US. Even if zero of the ones from 2000 attritioned out they’d be ~13% of the work force and I highly doubt none of them have retired in a 2 decade span
