This is pretty fascinating for me. I got into development relatively late (30's) and just had a conversation with some of my developer mates about where they want to be in 10-20 years. A few said they will no doubt still be programming. "Technology is changing so fast, we're the only ones who will be able to stay at the cutting edge, making our positions as developers fairly insulated." said one. I was also thinking about a career "pivot" in a few years into management. It was really under the auspices of how employers prefer the fresh college face and cheap labour rates as opposed to the seasoned mercenary who has high contract rates.
