I'm 39, still as excited about new ideas as 20 years ago. Or even more. It's so simple to implement new ideas nowadays, just pick a matching tool/framework and you are good. Back in 1998 you were forced to write a lot of things from scratch long before you get to your idea implementation and it was actually demotivating, at least for me.

Don't you find that most "new" ideas in tech are actually a rehash of something from 20 years ago at your age?

Yes, but so what of it? Technology changes, society changes, tradeoffs change and the idea becomes new again, and has legs and that is interesting.

Sometimes. But now I can see it in perspective and some ideas came at wrong time or were horribly mistreated or implemented in the wrong way.
