I don't code for a living. But I'm over 50 (ahem) and:
1. I still work in tech
2. I work at a startup
3. I write code daily as part of my job as a product manager
4. I love what I do and don't want to stop
Just yesterday, I had to match one set of urls to another set of urls by domain name, which involved:
1. Stripping down various badly-formed urls to just their main domain -- Claude and ChatGPT both proved incapable of creating regex to do this; my code wasn't perfect either, but it was closer than they came.
2. Finding all cases where a domain from set A was a substring of a domain from set B, or vice versa.
3. Outputting various bits of related information for further assessment.
I could have done it faster, but I can't say I didn't have fun doing it, and the result was useful.
