I feel like such an old man, but I'm 46. (lemmy.world)

I have wrinkles, I have grey hair, I have back problems, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, I can't remember anything, the world seems confusing and complicated to me now and I wish things were simpler (which is why I like Lemmy). I definitely don't get kids today or their music.

How am I so old?

Im not checking a calendar constantly at home or devops software

I kind of am. It's my hobby. I develop and produce embedded electronics, both the hardware AND software. There's a PoE-powered relay controller board I made myself running all my smart home stuff right now. There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not involved with tech somehow. It's my bread and butter.
