> there is no learning after a certain amount of years of coding (I would argue at 4-5 years of good/varied experience mark).

If you stopped learning after 4-5 years in the field, the barrier you hit wasn’t the lack of new things to learn. It was your own ability to learn them.

> I would argue that the idea that the human brain can hold ten years of programming information to be absolutely absurd.

You’re demonstrating the ignorant hubris of youth quite successfully.

To be generous, if we're talking coding specifically, 4-5 years is a reasonable cap in my opinion.

Coding is not the same thing as software engineering or systems/architecture design or technical leadership or... All of those things can be improved significantly through a human lifespan. The act of writing code? Not so much.

The other caveat is that most people will not be getting enough experience to hit that cap in 5 years. You need the right environment, mentors, etc.
