No, software development is not necessarily a dead-end job after age 35-40. While there may be some challenges and biases in the tech industry related to age, it is not accurate to say that software development is a dead-end job based solely on age.
It is not a dead-end in terms of salary and skills. As is customary (depending on the organization you work for), your salary will be increased, and your abilities will continue to improve as you learn new things every day and face new obstacles.
Not really sure if this mindset is more regionally based than anything else but as a full stack developer working in Toronto at 24 years old I've never heard of this stigma in the workplace.
