I've felt the same way. That's why I'm having to take better care of my mind and body through better diet and exercise. It helps but it's not like when I was in my 20s. I'm also working on starting up a business or two that I can just manage workers with rather than have to do gruntwork. There's a lot of ageism in coding, and I think it's because our brains just don't do as well in 9ur 40s and 50s+ with all this complication. I hope you socked some money away, like retirement, etc. Focus on that as much as you can. Index and mutual funds, growth so you can exit the industry before it boots you out. There's plenty of room to foster an idea and have others do the layers of abstract function branches.
