That is not my experience with people close to 40. There have been so many changes in the last 10 years, so if they hadn't kept up, they would be out of a job.
In 2008 the typical webapp where hosted on a physical server with server side generated content for desktop users (old versions of IE was in the majority).
There has been such a shift in the required skills and mindsets that many underestimate how different the daily work of a developer is now.
