I am a software engineer with about 20 years of experience
I personally don't think years of experience is a relevant number. I'm a median senior software engineer in a big tech company. Most of my teammates are 20-25 years younger than me and have the same level.
I don't have more experience than them for most of the things we do in our job. Whatever I was doing 25 years ago is barely relevant today.
Basically, I still do what've always been doing: try to work on projects I find interesting, keep learning, try to contribute to the best of my abilities.
