While nothing written here is untrue, isn't its premise kind of self evident? Whether you're 22 or 52 the key to staying relevant in this line of work is to never stop growing and learning.

The premise here is that many people (most, even?) are not as interested in career growth and learning once they hit 50 as they were right out of college.
That fact is what makes many people consider software development a dead-end job unless you get into management at which point the growing and learning becomes much more like other professions.
