So these Python programmers, do they have any domain expertise too? What value do you put on that?
I am actually a similar age to the OP. I am 49, not far off 54 in % terms. I have 19 years of Python experience.
I recently started a new job, my 3rd time in consumer finance.
Two months in, I already understand the business far better than the two year mark of those two previous roles. My direct productivity is at least 3x me ten years ago. My likely impact on the business is 10+ times more.
Plus I still work harder than virtually anyone else I know, regardless of age.

So what's the delta?
