Ugh. This is so me. I turned 40 last year. Did CS, writing code is still the fun part of the job. Anyway, I used to maintain a fashionable amount of stubble. This year I noticed my beard was starting to go grey. Now I shave a lot more to hide it. This is the first time in my professional life I have started worrying about being judged on how I look. I also need to change the way I dress. I am too old to keep doing the tshirt, jeans and running shoes thing. I think I will go with: polo shirt, jean and leather shoes. Ha! Those damn whippersnappers won't spot me! try searching for: "kids in the hall He's Hip. He's Cool. He's 45!" If the story about Gosling is even 10% accurate, that is shocking.
