I'm still young but this has always been my question as well. When is tech going to grow up and recognize experience as an asset? Beyond of course putting "10 years of Julia 1.0 experience" as a requirement to be hired in a junior level position.
- chooseaname 8y agoAs soon as older people and younger people learn to have respect for one another. I mean, what other answer is there? If tech doesn't want older people then they don't have respect for what older people bring to the table. Why is that? Could be older people are less flexible? Less willing to change? I don't know. Specifics probably aren't important. It comes down to respect.
- bregma 8y agoCould be that older people are less flexible. I mean, I've been a professional software developer on the forefront of new tech development for about 40 years. I can't seem to do anything else but learn new tech as it comes along and churn out successful products, so I guess I'm rigidly set in my ways. It helps that I work remotely. Very few see my grey beard and get the chance to see how inflexible I am because of my age, so I get the respect due a younger person.
