I admire the earnest optimism of 30 year old programmers writing solemn thinkpieces about important lessons they’ve learned as a “mid-career engineer”, implying they’re going to retire in their 40s

“So you moved to San Francisco five years ago. What do you think of all the newcomers?”
“Tell us about the last time you were cancelled. How did it make you feel?”

They'll be lucky if they're not fired before their 40s. #ageism

I’ve known since I was 12 that I’ll program until I drop dead or no longer recognize what a keyboard is. (Also please shoot me if latter. No, really. NO, I mean it.)

I don’t think I am going to retire but there is no way I want to be doing this in a decade.

I never considered I’d be able to retire in my 40s, and it’s a good thing I wasn’t counting on that, because I don’t have much time left!

I'm relatively sure people will pay me to do things like fix linker errors for the rest of my life, but I'd happily be wrong
