This term is too broad and so is misleading.
There will indeed be programmers in the future but, more to the point, you will not be one owing to ageism.

- inanutshellus 11y ago... since that's a pretty valid concern when hiring, I'd like to point out that it's specifically a bias you have to look out for in yourself. e.g. Are you projecting that "stink" onto someone? For example, if you hire a guy that doesn't know your JavaScript framework and build system, is that distinguishable from hiring a guy that doesn't even know JavaScript? From what I've seen, introducing an experienced engineer to an alien framework is just as difficult as hopping languages (that being, specifically: measurable, but not terrible, and as such you shouldn't discount someone for one but not the other).
