Shouldn't this line of work be some sort of grand meritocracy? Or at least be striving for such a thing? Shouldn't age be 100% irrelevant?
But of course it isn't purely a meritocracy, because social factors matter, too.
And of course careers and office politics matter, too.
And of course there are biological considerations, like family and energy and health.
And of course it is exhausting to frantically keep up with the bleeding edge of the technology du jour.
And of course deep, long-lived knowledge matters just as much as coding ability sometimes.
And on and on and on....
