You mean 1990. Someone graduating college in 1990 would have been about 21. That was 35 years ago, so they would be about 56 in 2025.

Math is hard.

Weird flex of pedantry even for HN.

Says who? I did a gap year service project and graduated at age 23. My business partner did a 3-2 program and graduated at 23.

Plus, anyone working as an engineer then has a 8 figure net worth and the overwhelming majority moved on long ago.

Cmon man, it's a comment not a research paper. Off by one isn't worth a follow up snark

Off by 10+1. Someone who graduated college in 2000 = 25 + 22 (4 years of college from 18) = 47, not 57, and not anywhere close to the retirement age. It might be pedantry, but the original comment should have said 1990, not 2000.

Their main point was it is off by 10; then they introduced an additional confusing question of “is it off by 10, 11, or 12?”
