It would be great if this is the correct interpretation of this letter published in Nature.

Short version is that if you have a so-called "hot streak" in your career it is not automatically supposed to happen under the age of 45 (or even younger). It can happen at any age, any time. Also, it is not related to productivity. Inference being it is therefore wrong to assume everyone is washed up after 30, or whatever age bias you're working with.

In my experience within a variety of industries, you are basically thought of as a kid until you are 45 or so, even if you have managed to gain position/title/responsibility equal to peers a decade older. Basically, no one really takes you "seriously" until you have reached the highest available position to you within the company/field and been in that position for several years. I know that is far from the case in a lot of jobs, but this idiom seems pretty narrow in scope.
