Out of curiosity, were your interviewers largely young? 20-28 years old?

Most of my interviewers were between 20-30s, but I've also interviewed with people old enough to be my parents.

That still leaves more than a few decades worth of an active programming lifespan out. Assuming you're in your early 20's, your parents are likely in their early 40's; retirement age is still in the late 60's.
It's a young field, there will be more and more people who code into their 70's and 80's as the first batch of gen-X matures.
