EMS = Expanded Memory Specification.[^]
I know it's a holy commandment nowadays, not to know anything about memory, but...
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

Comic: A Life in Code - DevOps.com[^]
The last tag in the comic reads: "54: 'I can still do this!'".
I'm 54 years old. I've been programming since I was 15, and have been paid for it since I was 19. Not once have I felt like that remark. I am leading the rest of my group, all but one of which are younger than me, kicking and screaming into the future.
Agist prick.

Um. Not just agist, but it makes us sound like whiny little toads.
OK, the "Wow! I can do this!" is right - but I still get those "YES! It Worked!" / "fist pump" moments (And I'll be 57 in February if anyone wants to send me large donations of money, bacon, and / or chocolate)
The rest of it? Sounds like a developer whose brain is set in concrete and has no flexibility at all.

The only thing different for me as an older programmer is that I have the maturity to leave the naked part out of the naked happy dance moments.
