The article lightly eluded to the fact that the 10x'ers are able to transcend this, as a developer in his late 30's and a 10x'er I have seen it, my (guild) is getting younger and younger. Burn out has taken some of my age peers, while comfort or riches have taken others. Meanwhile, I keep on ticking, adopting the new stuff as soon as it comes out. There does come and age though where burn out sets in, and you either just start doing a job, or you drop out of the industry all together. I had one bad burn out in my early 30's in which I tried to leave the industry, but pastureing just does not seem to be in my nature. We will see when I am in my late 40's.
