My reason for asking is to provide some informal unscientific evidence for a
couple of projects I'm working on.
Yes it does matter since the rate of graduates in IT in 2008 (the last data
I have available at the moment) is about even to 1999. Worse yet the
percentage of IT graduates vs. other BS graduates have not really changed
over the 13 years of data I'm looking at. Yet the demand for developers is
higher now than it was at the turn of the century. So I'm trying to draw
some conclusions that help our customers determine IT strategic directions.
This is but one small slice of data used to determine the suggested
directions.

Subject: RES: What's the median age of the developers in your shop?
Hi,
Average 54 for just one developer (me). If HTML coding counts as
development, it drops to 49.5...
But does this really matter?
If needed we subcontract people, most average 25-30 but there are also very
good developers older than me!
It depends mostly on the project and budget, as most experienced developers
are quite expensive.
But there are always younger with good experience and older with bad
experience...
Regards,
Rubens

Assunto: What's the median age of the developers in your shop?
Cross posted on Web400:
What would you say is the median age of the developers (regardless of title
- if they write code they're developers for this question) in your shop?
Is the group getting older, younger, or staying about the same?
