36. Development manager. Have my ticket as a Project Manager, Technical BA, enough architecture experience I could go for EA roles, enough people experience I prefer leading teams. It isnt that hard to stay "current"; while espousing working technology over trendy tech. I find much else, it's about data at the end of the day - getting good at modelling processes and flows will never hurt. Take a mentor stance: I might not be hands on the tools, but I'll train the next 10 developers - its a provable way to actually make yourself 10x as productive if you tell them not to repeat mistakes you made and provide vision. Hack on things occasionally. If junior devs smile at your ways as quaint, spend the time to find out why, upskill, then apply experience to whatever flavour of the month exists.
