Re: The old tricks
Some companies value experience both learned outside the organization and within. They do not mind a few grey hairs, bald spots, wrinkles, etc. They will hire someone who 50+. The problem is most older workers have family and other social responsibilities and cannot work 12+ hrs/7 days a week for months on end which Silly Valley thinks is wise. In fact, I wonder how much crappy code gets out the door because the staff is exhausted and cannot think straight. Code that rested staff would spot as problematic and fix or never write in the first place because they are thinking straight.
