It means that anyone can learn a programming language and become as 'competent' as the 55 years old.
When you have a choice between a 22 year old and a 55 year old, equally competent, who of the two is a better bet ?
- amorphid 11y agoI was a tech recruiter for 9 years. Filled hundreds of tech jobs at startups. The only thing employers really care about is hiring employees that help the company do one of three things: 1. save time 2. save money 3. make money No rational employer will look at a time saving, money saving, money making candidate and think "this person appears to be too good a match for my business needs". Business value trumps ageism. Most the candidates I couldn't place typically didn't focus on trying to be profitable employees.
