I'm actively pursuing FIRE. On pace to reach it in 2023. I think every software developer who wants to write code their whole career must actively be trying to reach FIRE by age 50. Ageism is rampant in this industry.

If you want to be a manager or founder or whatever I think you can work past 50 but FIRE is still worth pursuing.

And if you love working on projects that matter to YOU there is nothing better than achieving Financial Independence.

You are so right about ageism. I am in my mid-forties and I am already feeling it. I have been rejected from positions because of my age. The feedback most of the time: I am not a good cultural fit.

I do not get lured by Pool table, office BBQs, bowling nights etc. I just want to write good software.

is it bad if i'm 31 and I don't get lured by office events either?
