In short, what do developers over 40 do to stay in tech?

In short --- start your own company.

The excuses you've been given are all BS. What they are really looking for is someone who will work twice as many hours as you for half your pay.

Sorry to be so blunt but you should have started preparing for this day a long time ago --- like the day you walked into your job, looked around and noticed that those over 40 were a small minority.

Where did all the old techies go? HINT: They didn't all die.
