Shameless age discrimination. Very smart people exist at all ages. I've seen 21yo junior grad developers outperform 45yo 'senior' developers.

- quickthrower2 7y agoIt's even more complex as you cant even say dev X > dev Y for all tasks. So the age thing is even more silly. After so many years you start forgetting the stuff you did (in detail) in the first years anyway.
- watwut 7y agoSeniority is not about how smart you are. And most programmers of any age are neither prodigies nor geniuses.
- collyw 7y agoIt's unlikely (but not impossible) that a 24 year old developer has had much of the experience needed to be classed as properly senior.

- eeZah7Ux 7y agoDo not accuse people without evidence! I'm all against age discrimination. ..and when you see a company where the age cluster around a very small area you can tell age discrimination is happening. Which might very well be the case of the parent post.
