As a developer who is almost 60, and the father of two budding developers. I can't image a better time to EVER have lived.

The technological landscape is amazing, new things in tech, biotech, materials, and just human understanding of ourselves.

I don't feel old because I am excited about everyday and what adventures it will bring. I can still beat the twenty year olds in speed chess, though my twitch reactions are not fast enough to keep up in the modern FPS's. The trick is to challenge yourself everyday in mental, physical, and spiritual ways. Having great kids helps with that!
