how old? 60+? 50+? 40+? 30+? 20+? (I'm serious, sometimes even 25 year old devs feel old).

- jaimebuelta 10y agoWtf? 25 years?
- kyberias 10y agoHow do 25 year old devs "feel old"?
- hex13 10y agoDon't ask me. They're exaggerating ofc but I sometimes hear that somebody in his twenties feels old.
- throw_away_777 10y agoAt every moment in your life, you are older than you have ever been before. If you compare your life when you are 19 to 25, that is a much greater difference than your life from 50 to 56.
- Yoric 10y agoTechnology fatigue: you have just spent the last few years becoming an expert in a technology stack, and suddenly, nobody cares about that stack. Or worse, people start reinventing stuff that was trendy – or possibly even old – when you were tinkering with it as a teenager, and they make all the same mistakes. Happens a lot with the web for the past few years (every JavaScript GUI framework, WebSockets ~ sockets, WebASM ~ asm, WebGL ~ OpenGL, etc.) and in the programming language community (generics, functional programming, concurrency becoming mainstream after the industry spent 40 years decrying them, etc.) Probably in other places, too. Also called Future Shock when I was a kid so even the concept itself is making a cyclic comeback :)
