50+ here, starting https://www.trycryptomove.com. Some of the top cybersecurity advisors (and our increasingly growing list of pilot customers) seem to believe in me just fine. Age is just a number!

Languages, tools, and frameworks evolve (including the brand new distributed programming language I invented, 'Hello', available at http://www.amsdec.com/).

But good software architecture and engineering is an art that improves with time.

Which is why so many job postings request "generally good software architecture and engineering skills" instead of "5+ years with Amazeballs Framework and HotLang."
