Since I'm talking about programming I'm also perpetuating ableism because you need to have functioning hands and eyes. I'm also perpetuating alivism because you need to be not dead.

That's not actually the case! Blind programmers are not rare, and as for the other: https://venturebeat.com/2014/10/01/max-strzelecki-warlocks/

Oldée currently full time emplyed programmers can perform programming work. They typically dont have github profile. Which is where your comparison fails.
You don't need to be young to code profesionally nor you need free time. Good job allows you to learn on the job. You need eyes and hands.
So, you are perpetuating ageism then. Let’s see how cocky you are in 10, 20, 30 years when you can’t get a job because of all the bloggers crowing about their Github profiles...
