Noam interviewed me for that TNR article, but didn't use me directly in it. I suppose I was "background." :-) Don't get me wrong, he seems like a really good guy, we had a great conversation, and I hope any minor insights of mine were helpful to him. But of course in the end it's an author's call to write the article they want to write. See, I don't fit the narrative of that article at all. I just turned 63 and have been actively working as a software developer since my teens. [1] And no, I've never had surgery to look younger. Never even occurred to me! If somebody thinks I'm too old, no worries, it's their loss. There are plenty of other companies out there who care more about what I can do for them than how I look. There are even companies who think that some degree of wisdom may come with experience. What a concept! :-) [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8999420 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8999420
