I am 50+ and have zero problems competing with younger developers. While they are busy making things as complex as possible, and spend most of their time fixing self-inflicted problems/bugs, I have already finished my task and moved on to the next. I spend almost all my time adding new features, and have close to zero bugs in production. 25+ years of experience solving hard problems in different software domains is a super power. The secret is to brutally strike down and destroy without mercy complexity whenever it shows it’s ugly head. Complexity is the enemy. Learn to recognise it and be merciless in cutting it out.
