I am 54, a former CTO, CIO and current CTO and love to code. I believe "now" is the most exciting time in tech ever (and I started on mainframes, went through client server, n tier, web and whatever we are now). I believe open source is truly changing the world in a massively positive way. I'm sure someone younger could do my job, but I think "perspective" matters. I love learning and just moved a bunch of production workload to Kubernetes. Not sure exactly why this touched me the way it did but I dread the day I hang up my spurs. The industry just gets more and more interesting to me.

- dookahku 10y agoI will confess to being cynical but they need more engineers than C*Os. My time is almost over.
- mooreds 10y agoAh, but do they need more junior developers than senior developers? Senior/lead devs who can take a project and execute the whole thing, including leading team members, are very valuable.
- dookahku 10y agoWhy hire someone with 10+ years of experience over all when we can hire someone with 3-5 years of experience in our tech stack? Or so it's been explained to me.
