I don't see anything in the article about older workers working themselves to death. It seems to be mostly about older workers getting laid off. As a dev in his 50s, I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, age discrimination is real and I've definitely seen and experienced it. On the other hand, virtually everybody has some kind of trait that is going to be discriminated against by somebody, and the software development market right now is so overwhelmingly friendly to good programmers that the few spots of discrimination are really just minor irritations. But if you aren't constantly upgrading your skills, I'm sure the landscape is bleak. And that's not nearly as true of PS. The above is about programmers. Managers probably get much more direct age discrimination, and they can't fall back on a well-defined skill set to contest it.
