I beg to differ. I started with C in the 90s, then C# in '05, then PHP in '12, then Go in '21. The things I learned in C still apply to Go, C#, and PHP. And I even started contributing to open source C projects in '24 ... all my skills and knowledge were still relevant. This sounds exactly like ageism to me, but I clearly have a different perspective than you.

Yes, we clearly have different perspectives. I observed an arrogant person who despite their multi-year break from engineering of any kind strongly believed that they still were as capable as engineers who remained in the field during that time.

Maybe you had to be there.
