were you trying to say you've been coding *for* 40 years? that "old" in "40 years old" confuses me a lot

or are you 60 years of age now, starting at 40 and have been coding long enough to see editors progress?

I'm pretty sure they are not a native English speaker. Many languages use 'since 40 years' to mean what we say as 'for 40 years'.
