To be honest, there's a little bit of "I'm too old for this shit" attitude among them. They have have demanding jobs and families, and probably couldn't care less about what internet thinks. I also have to note that I've never met a person my age (early twenties) who I could call a great engineer. Promising - yes, talented - yes, but not great. You know, the type of people that you shut up and listen to when they talk. Guess those years of experience really count... P.S.: OK, I lied, I've actually seen some guys even younger than me that are absolutely brilliant, mostly those actively participating in programming contests (ACM/TopCoder, etc.), but I wouldn't exactly put them in charge of a team building a product, if you catch my drift...
