The discrimination towards extreme youth is all about money, because they can pay them 1/4 what a senior developer would ask for. They also will probably do a bunch of free overtime and not complain, until they've been there a few years and realize the shaft they are getting.

I was surprised how little the young Sr Android developer at Google makes. They obviously hired him to pay him as little as possible as compared to an experienced lifelong developer. Google I guess doesn't care about bugs or experience seems like most tech companies they just want to keep pushing new releases to get you to buy and upgrade to them.

The Sr Android developer is constantly complaining about a lack of free time on his google+ page and has been taking a lot of leave. He's yet another young developer working obscene amounts of hours so Google doesn't have to pay for extra employees.
