What separates the young from the old? Knowledge, wisdom, of how the sausage is made. I suggest that you look around for some legit hackers in their late 60s and older, and get to know them.
Older OLD hackers I know are super optimistic, like to make things, and are always learning.
Optimism from this point on is your challenge. I challenge you to be optimistic and do something with your experience, even if it's a hobby on the weekends and evenings.
- athrowaway29 9y agoThanks for your response. I completely agree with your points. I run two side projects (non-monetised) which keep me very entertained. I've attended security conventions (for which I take annual leave, and receive strict instructions never to let a client know) and overall I have a very optimistic attitude to what the industry is capable of. These things absolutely get me through the day.
