Can you explain what's the honest conversation to be had here? That "old" people should be looking for jobs outside of Tech? I am trying to understand your point of view. I can't even start to imagine how hard this gets when you are "old", have a family to take care of and, for god's sake, you'd like some kind of stability in life.

I am 30 by the way. I feel way more prepared than 5 years ago. I think experience is important sometimes.




This could probably only be solved by changing the forever young, fashion-oriented US software development culture.

Staying current is just mitigating the problem, not solving it.

And staying current should anyway mean growing ones knowledge not replacing it every X years or investing so much time like the author recommends.
