Re: What's the median age of the developers in your shop?

Holger,

We are finding on the west coast of the US, California primarily but the
entire coast, is about half the developers working in the tech sector never
went to additional schooling after high school. They get hired on, work
80-90 hours/week and in two years are as productive as 10 year vets in the
industry. What they don't have is the industry and life experiences
needed
to produce applications that are effective in a business environment.
Companies are relying on those of us with some grey hair to provide that
perspective.
