Implying no software developer has financial problems.

  But you know who has worse financial, employment, work-life balance, motivation problems? Almost everybody else. These posts read as "please somebody solve it for us." But we are the solvers. Think we have problems with older developers employment? Influence a hire of a team of them. Who will do that for you?

    These posts read as "please somebody solve it for us." Not really. They were pointing out a problem. Highlighting a problem isn't the same as pleading for help. This reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1232/ https://xkcd.com/1232/ At what point is it ok to talk about your own problems? Only when no one else has worse problems? Think we have problems with older developers employment? Influence a hire of a team of them. Who will do that for you? I can't figure out what you mean. Could you clarify?

      I'm all for pointing out problems. I do it all the time and probably bothered a good amount of my friends. I just find this problem reported massively more than it is worth. Everybody who cares even a bit is long aware. Today, I will appreciate posts on "what we did about this problem already". And I have already seen one just recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13194074 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13194074
