As others have pointed out, there are definitely older, working programmers like Margaret Hamilton [0], but who may not have programming as the main part of their job. Would you say programming is the main part of your day as a data scientist (I have no idea, as I've thought DS could encompass a variety of non-programming work)?
A common question that comes up with mid-career programmers is whether they should take the jump into management – how have you dealt with that crossroads throughout your career?
