Cognitive decline? What a load of ageist malarkey. At 51, I can still hold complex thoughts in my head and make solutions. And when I slow down, it's because I'm wisely taking time to contemplate the implications of how the thing I'm working on affects the entire stack. I wish the author would have tried to dispel this and another myth associated with age, inflexibility. I'm still learning new things. And sometimes, choosing what I know and am strong and familiar with is a choice to expedite. It has little to do with a lack of willingness to change or learn new stuff. In fact, I'm much more flexible than I was in my 20's. Mostly because time has tempered my arrogant self-righteous self with a healthy dose of humility.
