Not just the valley but in any of the developing nations like India, China, Brazil either. Those populations have a constant stream of educated youth rolling in. It is very hard to compete with youth (not on knowledge but on the aspect of how much work hours you can dedicate at that point in life). But I am happy to hear there are places that respect > 55 year olds. Note that the population of > 55 in software is probably quite small now because this all started only in 1990s proper. So, we will see the real problem only 2020 or so.
