Maybe, but women's salaries are about the same as and often lower than men's, while older developers tend to get paid much more than junior developers.

With the caveat that they'd need to older, but not old-fashioned. Mental inflexability is too damaging, especially when coupled with an easy defense like "Oh, but you're younger and not as wise".
