I wonder how many of this type are 'senior/principle software engineers' employed by our AI vendor overlords. This situation is the inevitable result of vocal VCs (ahem) poo pooing "age" and "experience" and promoting youth as a 'requirement' starting in the '00s, coupled with these same VCs now attempting to hijack an entire industry to run on their obviously immature and buggy and frankly possibly dangerous products.

The silver lining in all this is all of us very experienced "ancient" software practitioners will likely be in demand again. In a sane world, of course.
