Also you can compare it with the age below. Most people are 21-29 years old, but have 11+ years of experience? I think the meta-physics of the job market make people write bigger numbers than truthfully would apply.

A smarter way might be to ask when was the first month/year that one got paid for python dev work and then calculate the experience number oneself.

The pool of respondents aged 30-39 was 31% and all 30+ was 49%. So 25% of all respondents having 11+ years in IT shouldn't be farfetched. I myself am in my late twenties and I'm not far from 11 years of professional experience.
