You're unemployable at 40 in this field, had I known that I would have studied finance instead. Besides that tech changes so quickly every year or two you basically start over learning a whole new set of skills...and your experience means nothing to hiring companies you still have to answer ridiculous algorithm questions even if you're a frontend programmer.
