I call bullshit.

Headhunters will always be lazy; yes, it is assumed that those fresh out of school aren't experienced enough, and that those with a certain mileage are outdated. He's merely talking about the generalization of the public - a "good" programmer is at least as young as the founder of FaceBook. And if he's as old as Bill Gates, then he "must" be equally outdated.

I found that the prejudice is actually beneficial. No more "exciting opportunities" or "challenging environments", no more marketing-drivel. It's a nice way of filtering all those non-job-offers that merely exist to fish the top 1% out of the market (ask Joel[^]).
Bastard Programmer from Hell Suspicious | :suss:
If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]
