  480. the part about try&#xad;ing to look younger.</p>

  481. 

  482. <p>I&#x2019;ve seen it at home, too; my wife <a href='http://laurenwood.org/'>Lau&#xad;ren</a>  is among the most awe&#xad;some project

  483.  man&#xad;agers I&#x2019;ve known, is pro&#xad;fi&#xad;cient with sev&#xad;er&#xad;al soft&#xad;ware tech&#xad;nolo&#xad;gies, and is

  484.  pol&#xad;ished and pro&#xad;fes&#xad;sion&#xad;al. While she

  486.  in&#xad;ter&#xad;est&#xad;ing. But these days usu&#xad;al&#xad;ly doesn&#x2019;t both&#xad;er reach&#xad;ing out; 40-plus wom&#xad;en

  487.  are ba&#xad;si&#xad;cal&#xad;ly not em&#xad;ploy&#xad;able in the tech&#xad;nol&#xad;o&#xad;gy sec&#xad;tor.</p>

  489. <p id='p-2' class='p1'><span class='h2'>On the oth&#xad;er hand</span> &#xb7;

  490. To be fair, not ev&#xad;ery&#xad;one wants to go on pro&#xad;gram&#xad;ming in&#xad;to their life&#x2019;s

  491. sec&#xad;ond half. To start with, man&#xad;agers and mar&#xad;keters make more mon&#xad;ey. Al&#xad;so,

  492. lots of places make de&#xad;vel&#xad;op&#xad;ers sit in rows in poorly-lit poorly-ventilated

  493. spaces, with not an atom of peace or pri&#xad;va&#xad;cy. And then, who, male or fe&#xad;male,

  494. wants to work where there are hard&#xad;ly any wom&#xad;en?</p>

  495. 

  496. <p>And even if you do want to stay tech&#xad;ni&#xad;cal, and even if you&#x2019;re a su&#xad;perb

  497. coder, chances are that af&#xad;ter two or three decades of se&#xad;nior&#xad;i&#xad;ty you&#x2019;re go&#xad;ing

  498. to make a big&#xad;ger con&#xad;tri&#xad;bu&#xad;tion help&#xad;ing oth&#xad;er peo&#xad;ple out, re&#xad;view&#xad;ing de&#xad;sign&#xad;s,

  499. run&#xad;ning task forces, ad&#xad;vis&#xad;ing ex&#xad;ec&#xad;u&#xad;tives, and so on.</p>

  500. 

  501. <p>Fi&#xad;nal&#xad;ly, there&#x2019;s a bad thing that can hap&#xad;pen: If you help build some&#xad;thing

  502. im&#xad;por&#xad;tant and im&#xad;pact&#xad;ful, call it X, it&#x2019;s easy to slip in&#xad;to year af&#xad;ter year of

  503. be&#xad;ing the world&#x2019;s great&#xad;est ex&#xad;pert on X, and when X isn&#x2019;t im&#xad;por&#xad;tant and

  504. im&#xad;pact&#xad;ful any more, you&#x2019;re in a bad place.</p>

  505. 

  506. <p>But hav&#xad;ing said all that, Bay Area tech cul&#xad;ture to&#xad;tal&#xad;ly has a

  507. blind spot, just an&#xad;oth&#xad;er part of their great di&#xad;ver&#xad;si&#xad;ty suck&#xad;age. It&#x2019;s hurt&#xad;ing

  508. them as much as all the de&#xad;mo&#xad;graph&#xad;ics they ex&#xad;clude, but ap&#xad;par&#xad;ent&#xad;ly not enough

  509. to mo&#xad;ti&#xad;vate se&#xad;ri&#xad;ous ac&#xad;tion.</p>

  511. <p id='p-1' class='p1'><span class='h2'>Can old folks code?</span> &#xb7;

  512. I don&#x2019;t know about the rest of the world, but they can at Ama&#xad;zon

  518.  I&#x2019;m not claim&#xad;ing it&#x2019;s a big pop&#xad;u&#xad;la&#xad;tion, but in&#xad;cludes peo&#xad;ple who are do&#xad;ing

  520. 

  521. <p>There&#x2019;s no equiv&#xad;a&#xad;lent at Ama&#xad;zon, but there is the com&#xad;mu&#xad;ni&#xad;ty of Prin&#xad;ci&#xad;pal

  522. Engi&#xad;neers (I&#x2019;m one), a tiny tribe in Amazon&#x2019;s huge en&#xad;gi&#xad;neer&#xad;ing army. There

  523. are a few fresh-faced youth&#xad;ful PEs, but on av&#xad;er&#xad;age we tend to griz&#xad;zle and sag

  524. more than just a bit. And if you&#x2019;re a group try&#xad;ing to do some&#xad;thing se&#xad;ri&#xad;ous,

  525. it&#x2019;s ex&#xad;pect&#xad;ed you&#x2019;ll have a PE ad&#xad;vis&#xad;ing or men&#xad;tor&#xad;ing or even bet&#xad;ter,

  526. cod&#xad;ing.</p>

  527. 

  528. <p>Like I do. Right now there&#x2019;s code I wrote match&#xad;ing and rout&#xad;ing mil&#xad;lions

  529. and mil&#xad;lions of <a href='http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/WhatIsCloudWatchEvents.html'>Events</a>

  530.  ev&#xad;ery day, which makes me hap&#xad;py.</p>

  533.  fac&#xad;t, I helped Events more with plan&#xad;ning and pol&#xad;i&#xad;tick&#xad;ing than cod&#xad;ing.

  534.  But a few weeks ago I

  535.  got an idea for an&#xad;oth&#xad;er project I&#x2019;d been help&#xad;ing out with, a rel&#xad;a&#xad;tive&#xad;ly

  536.  cheap, fast way to do some&#xad;thing that isn&#x2019;t in the &#x201c;Minimum Vi&#xad;able Product&#x201d;

  537.  that al&#xad;ways ship&#xad;s, but would be super-useful. I de&#xad;cid&#xad;ed it would be eas&#xad;i&#xad;er to

  538.  build it

  539.  than con&#xad;vince some&#xad;one else, so&#x2026; well, it turned out that I had to in&#xad;vent an

  540.  in&#xad;ter&#xad;me&#xad;di&#xad;ate lan&#xad;guage, and a pars&#xad;er for it, and I haven&#x2019;t been blog&#xad;ging and,

  541.  er&#xad;m, seem a lit&#xad;tle short on sleep.</p>

  542. 

  543. <p id='p-3' class='p1'><span class='h2'>Ad&#xad;vice</span> &#xb7;

  544. Are you get&#xad;ting middle-aged-or-later and find you still like code? I think

  545. what&#x2019;s

  546. most helped me hang on is my at&#xad;ten&#xad;tion span, com&#xad;pa&#xad;ra&#xad;ble to a gnat&#x2019;s. I get

  547. bored re&#xad;al&#xad;ly, re&#xad;al&#xad;ly fast and so I&#x2019;m al&#xad;ways wan&#xad;der&#xad;ing away from what I was

  548. just do&#xad;ing and pok&#xad;ing cu&#xad;ri&#xad;ous&#xad;ly at the new shiny.</p>

  549. 

  550. <p>On top of which I&#x2019;ve been ex&#xad;tra luck&#xad;y. The ev&#xad;i&#xad;dence says my

  551. taste is super-mainstream, what&#xad;ev&#xad;er it is I find shiny is like&#xad;ly to ap&#xad;peal to

  552. mil&#xad;lions of oth&#xad;ers too.</p>

  553. 

  554. <p>Any&#xad;how, I don&#x2019;t usu&#xad;al&#xad;ly wear a T-shirt, but when I do, it&#x2019;s <a href='http://www.tyrrellmuseumshop.com/shop/adult/t-rex-skeleton-tshirt/'>this
