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

Ours is dropping without a line of PHP in sight :). When the development platform includes JavaScript (and node.js), HTML, Java etc as well as RPG they no longer feel like they have joined a dinosaur refuge.

It seems that many of the IBM i shops that get touched with PHP, the
median age drops. Maybe we'll add this question to our annual survey.

46 is the average. I know you asked for median, it's just I wanted to say
that I'm above average ;-)

Our shop has a mix. I am 54 years old, and there are a few developers
older than me. We have a couple of developers right out of college in
their early 20s. We trained the college grads on the IBM i ourselves.
Most of our developers are in-between these two age groups.

Thanks,
Kelly

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?
