Ask HN: For older devs, do you feel like you have missed your prime time?

I am 27 years old. Did my bachelor's in CS in 2018. Worked in a non tech role for SAAS product for 3.5 years. Moved back to engineering last year. I am now working on a PHP backend and React on the front. I go through various forums and find that people DID A LOT of cool stuff while I was busy playing with Arduinos and OpenCV. I did learn about the kernel a bit but that's about it.The amount of development that I see people have gone through in the the last 5 years is insane. Sure, there is a lot of sugar coating but I still feel the amount of compute and resources that are available now might mark the point of no return. I hope I am making sense here.
