> I think it's pretty obvious. After you've been coding for almost 2 decades across multiple industries, coding becomes predictable and tedious. By that point, you've become an expert in many sub-fields within computer science; you probably even started to forget some of the old technologies/methodologies that you used to be an expert at.
Are you at this stage now, or theory crafting?
I've been coding for 2 decades and I don't find it predictable or tedious.
Life is an event stream of lessons. Things you learn from previous events don't automatically become useless just because there's a new tech trend in town.
For example, when I was writing PHP code in 2000, I still apply the lessons I learned then to code I write today in non-PHP languages. Those lessons I've learned are what makes me a better programmer today than I was 20 years ago.
