- JohnFen 3y agoAh, my mistake. I'm a bit touchy about age-related comments because it's become so incredibly common for young devs to assume that older devs have old, out of date skills. So I flinched. That's another thing that makes me think I need to get out of this industry.
- tracker1 3y agoI get it, getting closer to 50 myself. I've seen plenty of older devs that try to coast it in at the end. I never had any intention of ever retiring, so I just keep learning. Still spend 10-15 hours a week reading on things. I don't always have the motivation to actually experiment on non-work projects as much though.
