I'm 39. There's no denying tech requires you to constantly keep up. But in my opinion, it's not as bad as most make it out to be. For the most part I read blogs while lying in bed at night (about 15 minutes or so), and I always have a side project going that I get to here and there. I still maintain a healthy life balance and get to enjoy things outside of tech just fine.

To be fair, I don't have kids. I'm sure that's a huge factor.
