So warm topic.

I have almost 40+ and what I know definitely that nothing can be true thing in our job. Today you on the wave, in 10 years this wave is deprecated.

I can feel self pity about different desicions but when look at my path with sober mind I see that nothing can be deffirently.

The main thing is energy. If you have it you do not care how old are you. But industry is full of bias about devs age. So let's they go hell.

I am definitely happy that decided to learn programming in my 13.

I regret that didn't pay attention enough to math and physics to have a more interesting background than just software development. And now I am learning, returning to the roots. 😄
