> I know we talk a lot about ageism in this industry, but does this not happen in other industries? I genuinely don't know. I just don't think this angle has been explored. It can happen, but it's much less common. Right or wrong, people have different expectations of different fields. I you ask someone to imagine an outstanding lawyer or doctor, they probably envision someone in late middle age, maybe with some grey around the temples. If your doctor walks in the room and looks about 25, you're probably not going to be thrilled. Now, if you ask those same people to image an outstanding programmer, they probably envision a young person in the twenties.
