i've been thinking about this a lot after my post-burnout brain has slowed considerably as i've gotten older (30). i definitely know i'm not as quick as i used to be.
i've noticed that even after 3 weeks, code that i wrote deep in the flow zone will feel completely foreign, so it's more like a linear curve up and then it plateaus. however, i feel like at my current trend, by the time i'm 50 code i write the day before will feel completely foreign.
i used to watch this trend when i worked with programmers older than me, but i never realized just how badly it would hit me.
