Is there a way to live for 40 or 50-Year-Old programmers?

There are many old programmers in our company, more than 40, more than 50, and generally occupy the technical leadership position. It is certain that old programmers are slow in learning things. However, they are not in a hurry and the company is not in a hurry. The emergence of new technologies is just a summary of old technologies. It is not difficult for people who really master old technologies to survive abroad. 　　 When some Chinese friends encounter Java, the C ++ programmer will be LAYOFF. In fact, it is not a programmer's sorrow, but a company's sorrow. This shows that the company has no core competitiveness at all. If it wants to change things, it will be a rootless grass blowing in the wind. A very important feature of a foreign company system is its large size. Just like a project on hand (not very big in our company), a project contains 8000 files, with an average of-lines of code per file. The maximum code of a file is 25000 lines, all of which are C ++. Of course, the file size is not glorious, but to maintain this program, it depends on the old programmers. Who dares to offend them? I have been working on this system for two years. I just dared to make a RESTRUCTURE in a small module, and the whole system did not dare to make major changes. How can I replace the old guys? What JAVA can this system do at all? It is image-related. C ++ is too slow and JAVA is still used? A local CACHE database has 4 GB of memory, which is a test level. Databases are not at the core of the system. If a programmer is LAYOFF, you are not competitive. Everyone you know. You think, if you are involved in WINDOWS development, will you still have a survival crisis? The maximum salary is a little lower. The real old programmer will not be LAYOFF, because the company is impetuous or you are impetuous.
