As someone with experience hiring developers, my concerns about "older developers" were two-fold.
First, the cultural fit. If the company is all mid 20-somethings, would you fit in with the team. ?
Secondly, are you really set in your wise regarding your code and almost as important, what SDLC you're comfortable with (because we aren't using waterfall here!)
So I wouldn't ever not hire someone just for being old, but those are two concerns that I'd have with any candidate and they're a little more of an issue with older developers.
That said, regardless of your age, what is going to get your a job is networking. Start getting involved in the community now. Take on freelancing projects. Attend meetups. Get to know people.
