Since when has 30 been "an older age"? It's still well within the 1st half of a persons life (assuming average life expectancy), never mind the latter part of the 2nd half.
As a 30-something myself, I'm constantly learning new technologies (only this week I started teaching myself Go).
I know the computer industry is a very youth-orientated sector. But calling 30 year olds "old timers" is a touch unfair.
