Gregory's ServerWhat is especially sad is the way older programmers are less often hired.
I worked with some brilliant older programmers in the past, many of them came from other fields such as math or physics. They would likely not get past resume screening today.

@aeu @blacklight I work for a leading company in one of the current "sexy" tech fields. The average age of a programmer in my team is around 50. I'm in my late 30s and the youngest by far.
I don't know how other places manage without the mass of experience we have. I can't count how many times people were able to help with weird bugs because they remembered a similar problem when they worked on the 8080 or a strange holdover from the first release of g++.
