So, number of software developers doubles roughly about every 5 years. So if you have been in the field for 5 years, half of the developers will be younger than you, if you were in the field for 10 years, 3/4 will be younger than you. You can do the rest of the math.

I've been working as a developer for 40+ years, so most other developers are younger than me. Although, on my current team there are two people older than me.
