I'm 46 and super excited about coding and learning new stuff even after 26 years. I feel no different to my 25 year old work mates.



Exactly. Remember that disease called 'progeria', where a young person ages physically to be old in like 20 years? Yet they still feel like a 20-year-old? That's me, except it took 50 years to get here.

I.e. There are plenty of 20-somethings that learn one tool and don't want to switch. Don't blame age on a 50-year-old being stuck using the tools they know; blame the person.
