About the same age as the one you are replying to, usually the best way to work around that is consulting, where you are expected to be business analyst, architect, devops and coder in one package.

Granted, not everyone enjoys doing it, and it comes with lots of politics as baggage as well.

what do you mean by consulting? going through agencies? freelancing?

All of the above, it depends which one is better on your region.
