Where Do All of the Old Programmers Go?
full-of-beans asks: "I work as a software developer for a large UK based international organization. Most of my colleagues that program are under 40 years old. Those that are over 40 tend to be in either Management or IT Support! I was wondering were do all the old programmers go? They can't all end up in management. I know we don't get paid enough to take early retirement. Is there some other career that tends to attract 40+ year old programmers, if so I'd like to know, because I'm not that far of 40 myself!"
Government can afford to take a longer view.
Are you retarded? The government just doesn't require their employees to do anything at all. So just shit around and send emails to each other and hold meetings. Then, once the deadline has be blown by several years, they hire a contractor to build it, which is done at the lowest imaginable level of quality, and just move on to a new project. Then they wait 2 years and start the process from the beginning.
Have you ever actually heard of the government producing anything at all?
Well, I guess you're right, if by longer view you mean infinitely longer...
sheesh. girls can't write code!
