Meanwhile, there are other 40+ programmers like myself who still enjoy themselves with the latest tech, fads, open offices, lots of communication and fellow young programmers.
Programming nowadays has improved so much it's crazy.
- Have a problem? 99% chance your answer is on StackOverflow. (anyone remember the days before internet? I do! Searching (alone) hours on some cryptic error message)
- Programming robots is so easy and cheap nowadays.
- Everyone walks around with a super powerful computer, integrated GPU, camera, GPS, gyroscope and internet ready wherever you go.
- So much powerful stuff available for free.
- Current IDE's have so much handy functionality.
- Make your software available to the world in an instant. Want to run your own server software? So easy and cheap!
So yeah, grumpy old programmers still exist. But I also know plenty of old programmers who love all the new stuff.
