I'm 42 and still coding, I have had the chances to move up the ladder but asides from the financial reward everything else on that path seems much more stressful, I honestly struggle to see the appeal of that path, but I have mostly been motivated by freedom in life and not money.
I keep up to date and just love learning, I use React, Vue JS, Tailwind, ES6, Gatsby and GraphQL regularly, so I think I run with the cool kids at the moment lol.
Admittedly I do tend to use Vim over WebStorm / PHPStorm sometimes, so I guess that makes me an old fogey.
I am happy to keep coding, and since my generation will never retire due to how messed up the UK is, I will probably die at this keyboard haha

Yes, I know, it's becoming a trend for Croatians to emigrate to Ireland. Not that it's off the table, but for the time being, I have stay here in Croatia. When I decide to leave this Mordor behind me, I think I'll consider Netherlands first. Send my regards to all the Croatians in Ireland, nothing here to lament about.

If you think UK is messed up, be happy you're not living in this cesspool called Croatia 😕

Imamo puno hrvatski programski inzenjir u Irskoj. Dođi!

Amsterdam is a wonderful choice - I also considered moving there.
I love Croatia - I'm going back in 3 weeks time. Wonderful country - shame about the politicians!
Well we have Brexit so 🤷🏼♂️
