As a (former) employer I definitely think his age is relevant.
- jacknews 3y agoIt's maybe relevant on a CV, not so on HN, which is for 'look at this', not 'look at me'.
- InCityDreams 3y ago...remembering what i was doing at 17, it's relevant to myself, and i reckon future employers and also education establishments may find it relevant.
- raarts 3y agoSo you think employers don't look on HN?
- SushiHippie 3y agoI think it's okay, otherwise this wouldn't have landed on the front page (less likely at least). And it's only on HN and not on the GitHub repo. If it would be stated on GitHub, I'd agree with you.
- ricardobeat 3y agoIt could have easily landed on the home page without the age mention. There are 10-20k links on the front page every year.
- cinntaile 3y agoEditorialized headlines are against HN guidelines.
- SushiHippie 3y agoIt's a Show HN
- cinntaile 3y agoThat doesn't matter. A show HN still doesn't allow you to editorialize headlines, but dang has replied in this thread so I guess the title is fine after all.
- flykespice 3y agoJudging your candidate by age than skill is what perpetuates the gross ageism on the IT sector. Gladly you got demoted from the position
