The common culture/perspective point is the most important single factor in the old vs young workplace decision. It's the 'Hey nineteen' phenomena. At almost 50 the desire to spend 8 hours a day with 20-30 year olds, enc

As an old SA and systems programmer my exposure to 'js everywhere' (node + angular -w- nosql backend) has convinced me that it's best left to hobbyists and experimenters. The same kind of folks that liked the gentoo linux di
