What’s the problem with that? One of my former manager is in his late 50s. He started developing in the mid 90s after leaving the military. He self demoted after his kids graduated and now he’s a full stack React developer working with Azure.

I’m in my mid 40s and I’m constantly looking at the jobs that are out there and making sure that I’m keeping up with the latest tech stack. It’s not like I could still get a job programming in my first language - 65C02 in the 80s or my first professional job writing C on DEC VAX and Stratus VOS mainframes.
