> "Too often, people seem to give up on learning new stuff at an older age. Usually around 30."

Since when has 30 been "an older age"? It's still well within the 1st half of a persons life (assuming average life expectancy), never mind the latter part of the 2nd half.

As a 30-something myself, I'm constantly learning new technologies (only this week I started teaching myself Go).

I know the computer industry is a very youth-orientated sector. But calling 30 year olds "old timers" is a touch unfair.
