From your comment and some other comments and the way the article is written I gather that the engineers age is seen as something novel.

Do people really see 63 as an newsworthy fact? Not trying to troll, I honestly wonder. It is 4 years from retirement in my country and I see many other achievements come from much older people.

I just don't see 63 as anything special or old.

It's unusual for people in that age group to be good with computers, as they grew up without them (or at least without them being as ubiquitous as in the last few decades). It's also pretty rare to hit such a sweet spot with an app, which makes it somewhat unusual that someone from that age group managed to do so.
