I absolutely love how that app that's advertised in the writing is primarily targeted at the 25-40 range... Perhaps after 40 they think you don't work hard anymore... For the record, I started writing code for a living more than 30 years ago. I guess I should be safe, by the mind of these clever guys.
- amelius 7y agoI have to say that my own experience is that people over 40 work less and at the same time seem to make more money.
- sharms 7y agoThis is highly inaccurate depending on where the upper bound of age is (ie excluding retirees or part timers). For instance, the average person above 40 years of age have much more time to focus on work: Children already grown, not frequently going out to bars or staying up late etc.
- jlokier 7y agoChildren already grown? These days, for various reasons people are having children in their mid-to-late 30s, and waiting closer and closer to 40 to start having children (many then find out they can't because they left it too late). For many, the children are not grown and old enough to leave home until the parents hit mid 50s.
- tomashubelbauer 7y agoThis line also stood out to me and perhaps I'm overly charitable, but I decided to interpret it as saying that people who made it to 40 while working in tech must have necessarily matured in their self-care awareness to the point where they don't suffer from burnout anymore, because for a lack of better way to put this, they know better by then.
