- ChuckMcM 13y agoA bit of all of that. During your 30's and 40's if you have kids you have a lot of obligations at home and so you don't spend a lot of time on outside projects. There is also a tendency to get curmudgeonly (which is fostered by having co-workers re-inventing the wheel and asking you to help). And lastly being an expert in Solaris internals isn't as useful as being an expert in Linux internals. It sums to smart guy, no longer hitting buzzword bingo on the recruiter's checklist, and somewhat off putting in their opinions of what is 'good' and what 'isn't good' in various designs.
