Not for me, or any other developers I know. I still enjoy coding and learning new languages and concepts, for over 40 years.

May I ask what you do now? I’ve been pretty successful in my career so far as a 25 year old Senior SWE, but realize that at some point there needs to be a pivot, most likely towards a managerial role or other field.

I wouldn't necessarily say you have to pivot out of development. Plenty of gray beard developers out there. At 25, I hadn't even started programming professionally!

It really just depends what you want to do.

I moved into info sec. I was always interested in cryptography and software security. I don't write code in my work anymore, but I do review it from time to time.
