You can do that...work at a company and just make more money without learning anything new. But more than likely your job will end before you are ready and you will find it impossible to get another job. While I do think ageism is overblownef for experienced developers who have kept their skills current, it’s almost impossible for an older person who hasn’t kept their skills current to find work even as a junior developer.
