Seems like all of them are in their mid-20's. But can you be good at software developer in later decades?

Dev here. Honestly depends on a lot of factors - give me a run down on yours and I'll give you an honest assessment. How old are you?What is your experience to date with development?What's your education?What is your current job?

'sw devl' is such a nebulous term. you can start at any age. from 5 to 95. it depends on what kind of s/w you want to write. you can even find mainframe, minicomputer, and bit-slice emulators, or build you own processor emulator from discrete logic. I've used a emulator of the first microprocessor from Japan from back in the 1980s, the Busicomm 4-Bit which later was used by Intel in Silicon Valley.
just take a dump on your keyboard and call it a day

Sure. I started in my mid-30s. Now in my mid 50s and still writing code.

But not as quikly as someone in their 20s and 30s. You probably can't pull the same 12 to 15 hour shifts that many projects might demand.
Again - need more info:
How old are you?
What is your experience to date with development?
What's your education?
What is your current job?
All this factors in. exp:
Are you 23 or 39?
Have you taken a bunch of free tutorials and love it?
Do you have a Math degree or a diploma of fine arts?
Do you work in a quant profession or at macdonalds?

Dude Mark Schultz is the biggest troll on this board aside from jamin. Is this your first day here? He didn't post this looking for advice...
huh? Then why would he post that?

There's more to it than being fast. And no one pays enough to get me to work 12-15 hour days. I make > $100K/year working more or less as I feel like it. This suits me fine.

For hypothetical opinions, I would assume
