My peak programming skills are close to what they were 30 years ago, but I cannot sustain that level of concentration for long periods as I once could.
I feel like a pinch hitter: I can do a couple innings at a high level of performance, but I can't keep that level up as long as I used to.
OTOH I think I have better judgement when it comes to deep, complex questions of long-term architecture choices. My "meta-programming" skills are sharper than ever.
