Maybe? Dev job at a non-tech F500 company. All these guys have kids and houses in the suburbs.

To the best of my knowledge zero of the people passionate about programming that I know have spent a meaningful portion of their career at non-tech companies. Internships or first jobs out of college are common, but the passionate people end up going somewhere where the thing they're working on is more than an incidental cost center for their employer.

I'd guess it makes sense that if programming is a passion for you then probably a non-tech-centric F500 company probably isn't where you'd choose to work.

For context: my current company with ~400 employees (not just engineering) is the largest company I've ever worked at.
