He he he. I'm much closer to 60 than to 50, and I played with my first "personal computer" (original Apple ][) in the late 1970s. I have over 40 years of experience with personal computers, servers, and embedded. I've been through bubbles, I've seen the pendulum swing from centralization to distributed several times. I've seen industry behemoths rise and fall. I work hard to maintain a grizzled appearance, and I am an industry veteran. I have encountered ageism (and sexism, and racism) in the industry: it's like mould in blue cheese. It all comes down to the biggest problem in the industry, and probably outside the industry: arrogance.
