They start a family in their 30s, and struggle to keep up with this fast moving world. Then get replaced by a 20 year old willing to work 80 hour weeks for half the cost.
I think most older devs are in a corporate setting where they can slow down, start a consulting firm, or move into management. Or get out of the industry all together. I know of a few people that moved over to real estate for example.
