i'm 29 but maybe it still counts. sorry im not currently hiring, but I will be. You don't do shit about differentiation. You are intrinsically differentiated (from the 20somethings you seem to be worried about). Tell me what it was like in the 90s. You've got the experience. Just amaze me. Internalize that its conceptually impossible to be worse than the 22 year old kid. Show me that you make an effort to keep up with the times, and then tell me about the old times. ^ That may not work with the hipster founders who just want to be hip, drink beer while "working" 60 hour weeks having raised 15M from a16z (for a16z, 15M is a throwaway round. their funds are too big for that kind of bet to make sense.) You won't get into brogrammer companies. You wont fit in. Theyre right in claiming that you wouldnt be a culture fit. But is that something you aspire to, anyway? People like you can replace 20 of those clowns. I'd rather pay 220k for one real engineer than 120k each for an army of bumbling idiots. Any day. But you've got to bring the skills.
