First there werent so many developers 40yrs ago, compared to the total count of today. Probably a 1:20 ratio.

Second I think they could have early retire with all that money earned along the way.

3rd I hope to retire or work as a consultant before 40, being a 9-5 at that age sounds awful for me, I hope to live more work less. This include writing and teaching.

4th our industry has the same sexism and agism problems like all the others, so probably they cannot get a job.
