40 years in tech… and I feel like I’m just getting started. 😉

After four decades in software development, I've seen frameworks come and go. The one thing that remains constant? The power of fundamental principles.

In this video, I share my perspective on how senior developers can stay relevant and ensure their voice is heard. It’s not about chasing the latest trend; it’s about leveraging a career's worth of wisdom to guide, mentor, and build things that last.

Experience isn’t about being the oldest person in the room; it’s about being the one who can provide a strategic view that no one else can.

What's your top strategy for staying relevant in our ever-changing industry?

Love this lesson. I don't have 40 years, but I guess so many successful and failed projects teach plenty of lesson that they build pattern recognition for future projects.
