I agree. 40+ years of programming experience as well. I have learned the hard way that programming is a huge area and you will only experience a very small part of it even after 40+ years of experience. I have also learned the hard way that we are all different and think/learn differently. So what works well for you is not automatically likely to work well for anybody else. So I recommend trying out different ideas/styles/methods/languages until you learn what works best for you.
