27 is not an "older dev". FFS.

I get the sentiment, but more kindly..

I only really got going in the last few years after a long non-tech career. I wouldn't count myself as an older dev and I'm ~40. I play with all sorts of cool stuff all the time, was into huggingface before everything blew up.

You'll be fine. 27 is a great age to enjoy all sorts of things. No one looks back on their life and thinks how they wished they'd worked more.

Fuck the grind. See your buddies. Get laid. Travel. Give your family some love.

Yeah, it's not about the age but more about the constant nagging feeling that I get. Anyways, I appreciate the good words.
