      The least destructive sports: Let me fling this ball at 120mph (at another human being).

    Meanwhile in F1 a 42 year old is dicking on everyone else who isn’t driving a Red Bull.

      Let’s hope he can get into a good car and set a record for the oldest age to win a title. Although it’s quite hard as the oldest title winner is Fangio for his fifth title when he was 46 years old.

        I don’t think he’ll be able to get another title, but I sure hope he can at least get a race win

      He broke records for youngest WDC, pole sitter, podium, race winner, etc. I fully expect he’s going to set records for oldest.

    I’ve been watching sports my whole comprehensive life. Just last season, for the first time ever, I was older than the head coach of my team. I mean I still am, but you get it.

      Must have been somewhat of a problem for the sport back when you were a child. Especially when you were between the ages of 0 and 3.

      40 is young to be a senior developer.

      thought having more than 5 years of experience makes you a senior dev

        You become a senior dev when you hold enough of the secret knowledge in your head that they don’t dare sack you.

      I’m a principal dev (the step higher than senior in my company) and I’m under 40. I think it mostly depends on luck and being in the right place at the right time.
