I think this young programmers cult is more US centric problem. Or should I say SV centric problem. I didn't notice such widespread age discrimination in Europe. I'm not that old yet (30), but I've worked with many older programmer/engineers (40+) in several companies and most of them were highly respected, well-paid and got tons of other job offers. Sure, if you are stuck in eighties programming with Assembler only and dismiss C as high level language, don't blame anybody but yourself..
- Practicality 10y agoYeah, I am not having any trouble with it outside of SV. Employers see 17 years of experience and trip over themselves to hire me (and my peers, some of whom are older). The just-out-of-college kids can build you a website, sure, but they don't get the fun (or well paying) jobs.
