| Dec 10, 2014 at 4:30 | comment | added | Aksakal | @NickCox, you are right. Age is a sensitive subject. Though in this case I was describing my own behavior: I used to learn all languages which came my way, now I try to do my work efficiently in the languages I know already and spend saved time learning other non-technical things. | |

| Mar 10, 2014 at 0:26 | comment | added | Aksakal | I described a perfectly rational behavior. nobody's going to hire 60 year old NBA player, yet there are hardly any 30 year old coaches out there. when you're 64 you still learn, but different things. | |
