Also there is no reason why a 50 year old can’t learn Vue, React, Rust, Blockchain, PWA, Docker or anything else that is hot. It’s all logic, all 1s and 0s. Someone with 20 years experience can probably learn it faster.

Exactly my point, I don't mean to brag but just picked react and redux 4 months ago. I'm already one of the most productive react-redux sr. engs at my current job

Is not about me being a "ninja" is about me doing this computer science thing for over 20 years

The problem is that somebody with 20 years experience knows Vue and React are really just older technologies refried and served to new programmers who weren't around the first time. Hiring too many people who can say "this looks suspiciously like what I was doing 10 years ago" ruins the tech marketing cycle.
