You're simply not going to retrain people in their 40s+
And this is the sort of age-ist bullshit that makes it easier for companies to continue abusive hiring practices. Is it reasonable to say that every 40+ worker can be a programmer?

Have no fear. This knowledge lives on in many EE courses. Memorizing 2^n wasn't -required- but greatly improved student success in the logic design, C, and assembly classes that were required for my degree. (graduated 6 years ago). :-)

Like deconstructing a human linked list! This is amazing.
