Thanks so much for your invaluable input. Your three-decade-long journey in tech is truly impressive. It's a shame that ageism does exist in our industry, yet those overlooking your experience are definitely at a loss.

Your love for iOS/iPadOS/MacOS app development shines through your words. It's refreshing to see such passion, and it’s what keeps our industry alive and kicking.

Your experiences echo the Harvard research, showing that despite challenges, a longing for simplicity and well-crafted code prevails. I can't help but speculate how many developers might have quit due to a lack of the same love for their craft that you clearly possess. I hope you find an opportunity where your expertise and love for app development are celebrated. Keep coding, keep creating, and keep inspiring us with your wisdom. Cheers!
