Thank you for sharing, I have been System Administrator for the last past 16 years, now I just moved in the DevOps(6 month), I am teaching myself more coding like never before. I am in my early 40s. This article is such an inspiration to matured version of people like us. Thank you!

I think that when dealing with clients age and experience is advantage. A 45 year old business owner is more likely to get connected with 35-50 year old developer or software engineer, even with 4-5 years of experience, than with regular 18-19 year old who does not know when to talk and when to listen. Unless, this 18 year old is genius, which is not always the case.
