50 here and I just read Concurrency in Go this past weekend and absorbed everything faster than I could have in my 20s. I think it is more that the vast majority of people stop using their brains much past the age of 30. (hell, even 25). I'd like to see a software engineering specific version of these studies. The only thing I lack these days is an intense desire to constantly code - I find there are all kinds of interesting aspects to the creation of software beyond hammering out code.
