Thank you for sharing this. I read the article and I started feeling depressed (I'm turning 53 soon).
Your parents show it doesn't have to be that way! Hats off to them. They're an inspiration.

The end result is now I happily sit down with my son and enthusiastically try to get through machine learning papers (something he needs to keep up with). I still pick it up, well pick up at least the bits either of us understand, faster than him.
I agree with another poster here though. My tolerance for the learning fluff that may not be useful in 5 years time has all but vanished, and yes the prime example of that is JavaScript frameworks. Nothing wrong with a good JavaScript framework of course but as I heard a speaker introducing his framework say, they have the lifetime of split milk.
