>I'm 45 and have gray hair.
I'm reaching 40 next year, 20 years of code experience. What's bizarre about the whole thing is that I would be consider to be reaching my productive peak in the next 10 years in any other field.
In tech you are treated like a dinosaur, as if not knowing what the latest hipster JS framework of the week makes you obsolete.

Yes.
- quickthrower2 7y agoAlso there is no reason why a 50 year old can’t learn Vue, React, Rust, Blockchain, PWA, Docker or anything else that is hot. It’s all logic, all 1s and 0s. Someone with 20 years experience can probably learn it faster.
- ScottFree 7y agoThe problem is that somebody with 20 years experience knows Vue and React are really just older technologies refried and served to new programmers who weren't around the first time. Hiring too many people who can say "this looks suspiciously like what I was doing 10 years ago" ruins the tech marketing cycle.
