Re:Ask HN: What happens to old developers? by maxdemarzi on Friday May 20, 2011 @08:26PM (#2569900)
Some move to management, some move to architecture but there are plenty of "old" software developers.

Look up "neckbeard"... or here http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=neckbeard Items 2 and 6.

I think as you get older, you seem to go lower on the stack and find yourself building software that others use to build software, or get tied up in the abstract with your own ideas for a language, algorithms, etc.

... but I'm only 32, so I'm not sure.
