> be a 60 year old software engineer now you would have to have started in 1984

My uncle is a 60 year old software developer, but he started writing software much later in life.

He started off in EE working for Sperry, went with the divisions wherever they went and switched over at the ripe old age of 47.

His previous work was all about state machines, so is his new work.

So "40 years of experience" isn't the same as 60 years old developer.

There's more of the EE/Physics grad turned software developer around than people who wrote software in the 80s.
