Being a Software Developer is a Young Man's Game

Just how young you need to be, varies considerably, of course, but from my own experience, I would say when you get over Sixty, you are probably getting too old.

This is a very touchy subject, and I have avoided it myself. But as I tried to update my programming  skills, in the last few years, I was finally forced to recognize this. I don't have that kind of brain power anymore.

As we get older, every part of us (body and mind) gradually deteriorates - and it finally gets to the point, where we can no longer function, and we die. We not only need to recognize that we die - we also need to recognize, that we gradually fade away.
