Do developers have shorter careers?

How do software engineering careers compare to those in other fields? Is your engineering career really likely to end more quickly than your peers? And for goodness sake, how can you squeeze making a full meal into the middle of your day?
Discussed in this episode:- Why the relatively smaller number of engineers in their 50s and beyond may tell us more about engineering’s history than its future- Gatekeeping in the engineering industry as compared to other fields- The (negative) power of being undervalued at work- Burnout is not a personal failing! And will probably come back again- 20 year plans may not pan out, but having some sort of exit plan might serve you
