I'll cross the 40 year old mark. I know I'm slowing down but I don't intend to get into management. It's like the aikido thing, learn to do more with less energy. That probably means AI stuff. AI is already doing a good chunk of my work. You can take photos of a crash stacktrace and it identifies the solution far better and more comprehensively than Stack Overflow. I write fiction and AI closes a story iteration loop in seconds, something that may otherwise take hours or days. We've expressed concerns that this is "anti-growth" and I agree. But the way I see it, it's like driving cars vs riding horses. You may end up a better car driver and a worse horse rider, and it will matter in the initial years of transition. But eventually we all drive cars. It is sad what happens to all those millions of horses, but such is tech.
