“47 Years Old: They Still Haven't Noticed …”
summary
Describes ageism in tech and argues experienced developers can stay relevant by learning modern tooling and presentation practices. Gives concrete examples: joining DevOps and tools work at Continental Digital Services at age 47, continuing to code in CAD, PHP and SQL, and using industrialization/CI-CD (Docker, CI/CD). Recommends tactical steps: learn young people’s social-media norms, focus on visible tools (Docker, CI/CD), retrain through skills assessments (bilans de compétences), adapt dress and behavior, and reinterpret changing rules as new codes; notes demographic shift with many over-60s by 2050.
