Good read about what happens to old coders. This has been on my mind a lot this year. I’ve been a software developer for 7 years now. I’m still fairly young, but I’m also reaching an age and experience level where sometimes it feels like I’m supposed to be a manager or a “senior” developer. I’m not opposed to leadership, but it also makes me a little anxious. I think I could be very good at it if I’m given the opportunity. I’ve worked several jobs where it seemed like almost every developer or designer was under 35.
All that said I’m glad there’s someone out there thinking and talking about this.
