I appreciate your article. This is something that I have recently discussed within our office. Having worked with developers of all age ranges and determination. We tend to focus on the negative stereotypes and not giving chances to those that have continued to adapt.

I completely age discrimination is real and have experienced it from a different perspective when applying for a leadership position. Due to my age there was an assumed lack of experience that was an immediate disadvantage.

I hope we collectively can fight back on this and ensure that value a person can add to the company is the main reason for employing them.
