>It is correlated as aging also slows reaction. Slower reaction

Slower reaction in terms of milliseconds and for reflexes.

Not for thinking and programming -- which experience helps you improve, understand computer systems more holistically, know to recognize tons of patterns that emerge again and again, and deep thinking is what makes the difference.

So unless programmers in your company also have to juggle balls or avoid daggers, the "slower reaction" is irrelevant.
