The chances that YOU, when you reach same age, will be interested in pushing the envelope with the latest tech, are very low. The chances that you will find "latest tech" absurd and would rather be starving than pushing said envelope, are very high. When I was young, I couldn't even imagine the future with Spring framework, Hibernate, Angular, AWS configuration etc. The profession is dead for me, and has been dead for quite some time. This is my own anecdotal evidence, sorry.
