We're not talking about someone who says they have 20+ years experience and therefore wants to be considered for <Top Wizard Role>. It's rather that, if you spent the last 20 years building CRUD apps (some even made ppl money and were successful!) and some kid also built a CRUD app, you're fucked, because as you get older you're expected to be some kind of brilliant outlier -- afterall, what have you been doing for the last 20 years?! This is what ageism really is, and it sucks because you can easily spend/waste a decade on some project/startup that goes nowhere, or worse still, some tech stack that's now defunct or deemed archaic. This is why I like to joke that I'm a Senior Flash Developer with over 20 years experience, hire me please xD
