I do wonder how many 40+ programmers are able to keep up with "young ones" in these contests.

I fear it is like chess, the cognitive decline starts to become noticable in the mid 40s and only gets worse from then on.

There are a few exceptions like Korchnoi was in chess so there must be Fabrice Bellards and Bill Joys who would be able to keep up.

Still looking at completion times for Advent of Code made me feel old.
