experience. and price :) (which, IMO, is 90% of the reason why older devs have trouble finding jobs, and not so much the supposed difference in ability. young = cheap.) also, to me it seems that it's more about your position in a company, than skill. i.e. being a senior does not mean being better, it means having more responsibility. being a senior is a position, not a level of skill. although, they would normally correlate. you certainly won't be a senior as soon as you get out of college.
