Calling yourself old at 32 doesn't really help the problem of ageism.



According to the developer survey, I'm in the upper 50% in years of experience. I know I'm not old by any reasonable metric (it was mildly a joke), but relative to the industry I'm above-average in age, which is wild but true.


> which is wild but true.

Not really. I would take SO survey results with a grain of salt. The respondents always skew towards the younger, less experienced crowd (68% had less than 10 years experience in this last round). It's not representative of the industry.


more young people are also likely to engage in online surveys, since they've grown up with this type of stuff.
