I'm not saying people "should be" judged on hair, but in practice they are. If you look old, you score lower in IT interviews. I'm just reporting human nature, not making it. I don't have access to humanity's source code. Fields like medicine and law value age. I'm jealous of those of fields. In IT you have a grey arrow on your back and have to consciously try to counter it, such as acting enthusiastic about dumb fads that management falls for. Youngbees don't know better and lick them up with a smile: "Yum yum, block-chain q-bit microservice no-sql serverless node.js++ for our little contract tracking app! Woohoo!" I know better, but STFU to not look like an old-tech-loving geezer.
