@colinwalker aha, thank you for your kind words! 😊

@vasta heh thanks! Seems to be a nice decade 😊

@nitinkhanna Great piece. I’ve been thinking a lot about ageism lately. There are so many preconceptions and prejudices, in both directions. A classic from my youth: “Don’t trust anyone over 30.” 😂🎂🥂

@macgenie and how did that work out? Honestly, I only ever heard that in American movies and TV. It was a funky thing to hear... like, why would you not trust them? They're elders after all.

@nitinkhanna @macgenie i think the fact that they were elders is why? Feels like a hippie/post-hippie kinda thing, though I bet it hit the tech world as well.

I turned 40 last month and it felt kinda big in a less happy way than 30 did. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ embracing it now though! 💪

@jw Turned 42 at the start of this year and know what you mean. The numbers themslves become relative after a while and the focus becomes "what do I want to do now independent of what age I am?".

@Skematica I like that. And I'm working on it, too!

@jw we're not meant to breeze through life, but hitting decade starters shouldn't be any reason to not enjoy a birthday 😊

@nitinkhanna Because the elders were sending the youngers to war in Vietnam, and couldn’t explain why. (Not that I’m old enough to remember, or anything...)

@JoeHoffman Oh yeah... I recently saw The Post. Sad time for America, that.
