I haven't, but I have some warning for anyone who is a technology worker (developer, IT, designer), ageism is real in this field. Look around you, notice how everyone is in their 20s-30s, where did all the older tech workers end up? Well unless they crossed over to upper management.... they've all be laid off. Don't expect your situation to be any different when you get older. At some point you will be forced out before you're ready to retire from work because the young guys are more malleable and energetic than you are.
