Aging Success

In the tech field their is a belief that it is a young persons game. This belief is also present in many other fields but how true is it? I know it is common to read about how once you are a software developer in your 30’s you are already on your way out the door. Yet the places I work is full of people in their 40s, 50s, and higher.

NPR Planet Money’s podcast The Indicator has a great episode titled Aging Up It is about entrepreneural success rates and how they improve with age. I believe this applies to many other areas that require creativity and hard work including software development.
