The idea that a programmer is “aging” at 40 is just nonsense that the tech industry made up to cut costs. Nobody would suggest that a 40 year old doctor or lawyer or civil engineer is “aging,” they’re widely acknowledged to be getting better until perhaps 50s or even early 60s. What might happen is that two decades of tech salaries make senior programmers not give much of a fuck anymore.
