I am 56 yo. Well, we know how people are when technical people like me get more mature. They could be afraid the guy might not be 'Up to date'... My personnal project I do on WE ( https://free-visit.net ) always gets me a nice technical interview and the consulting job. https://free-visit.net/fr/

In a way my personnal website sells myself.

Thank you - I am in my early fifties and have “that book” still not written and “those oss projects” sitting unloved. That “up to date” comment rings true and is just the right motivation to get things sorted

Plus I now want to make a virtual tour of some of my favourite places :-)

Ha ha ! When you want if you are in Europe (on WE)

Exactly, mention your age and everyone assumes you're a COBOL, Turbo pascal or whatever programmer.

Yes a bit true.

And also here at yc : - Younger you are, More likelyhood you will believe a guy in his 50s comes from the dinausaurus times. :-)

Reminds me a little of Twain: “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

Very good one I did not know ! :-)) Everything is in reading the classics
