Looks like you are quoting the article from Uncle Bob: blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2014... where he provides some answers directly, in particular about the kind of work older developers/programmers ought to be focusing on, which is definitely not competing in a dog-eat-dog world with an overwhelming volume of younger people, that view makes many assumptions about both the economy, the value of programming and the needs of those who pay programmers :)

True, but all solutions look like you have to get away from coding a little bit. And still, I think that from a statistics point of view, being part of the 0.39% of the population reduces your chances greatly.
