It's really not. There were people long retired before I hit the workplace and I'm fast approaching 50.

There is a combination of seemingly relentless growth in demand and people deciding they've had enough and hitting the management track however. At least in London/finance. The number of people I started with that are still coding on a daily basis is very small.
