I was also thinking, you know how us Xennials are like, "we can't compete with the kids in video games anymore, they have tons of free time to practice + reflexes". I think that factors in here too. When I was "peak" (:rolleyes:) I did stuff like read the C FAQ for fun. Now I have a bunch of stuff at work to do that isn't just coding. I have a bunch of things to manage in my side hustles. I have a partner and a toddler, a mortgage, etc. etc. etc. There's just more non-coding stuff crammed into my head now than there ever has been, and you've gotta think that has an impact.
