I personally don’t know a programmer who successfully survived the boredom, disrespect and disregard that comes with age and experience. I've been actively programming for 30+ years. Whenever I get a "Hello World" running on a new system or language I get the same excitement as I did the first time on my Apple ][. It helps that I work for a company that values experience and has a technical track so I don't ever have to become a people manager if I don't want to.
