Re: devs in their 40's and 50's, it might be dependent on the type of company? I work with more than a few folks my age, some slightly older, at iHeartMedia. I suspect that newer companies skew younger, and the older folks tend to be in the management/C-suite type roles? However, I'll admit that's a hunch, at best.
Amusing aside, the "Up and Coming Cities" video was shot in my new home city of Greenville, SC. Joey, Joe, and Sean are a local comedy group. I think they were actually working on turning that bit into a proper sitcom at one point?
To circle that back around to the topic at hand, moving here, and getting much further away from where I grew up/went to college, has been a game changer with regards to midlife malaise. I'm inclined to say that it was largely a result of the change of scenery in general, and finding a place to "settle down" more specifically. However, as I creep closer to 50, it's entirely possible that the feeling is mostly coincidental to where I am with regards to what Jonathon Rauch calls the "Happiness Curve."
Happy Birthday Week!
