A few months back, a 35-year old Hacker News reader started a pretty wild thread that's amassed 870+ comments and almost 1,100 points (which is high for an ASK HN!): How do you deal with getting old and feeling lost?
There's quite a bit of debate in the thread. It's interesting to hear a 35-year old post about 'getting old' but I suppose that's somewhat true if you've been in tech for 10+ years at that point in your life. It does feel like 'getting old', even though I wouldn't use that phrase myself at that age.
Is the tech industry just different iterations of the same?
One of the assertions the original poster is that people at that age often feel like they've "seen most things before, and it's all just different iterations of the same." This is a highly contentious part of the thread and I don't think there's a right or wrong answer here.
I definitely don't agree with all the advice given in that thread, but I thought it was an interesting one to share for those who might be in a similar circumstance.
