...when did 35 become old?

Am I the only 30 yr old who feels like he only just got to grips with the basics of how to write software like an adult?

If we're past it by 35 what happens for the other 35 years of working life?

+1 on having the feeling of FINALLY understanding wht the whole hoopla is after age 30. :D

BTW, based on the currently common lifestyle choices, most tech folks who are 35, likely do not have another similar 35 yrs left in them :-)

I don't think it's old. I actually think OP is a bit young to be a principal engineer assuming that's what comes after senior.
