I've always told my clients to stay away from hiring developers 35+ years old, as they're not going to be providing you with the most innovative, creative, and cutting-edge solutions, which is what's required to succeed as a business.

That means I have about another 5.5 years to get myself in a management position, where I never have to type a single line of code again.
