As a related note - why do employers prefer younger devs? Because they haven't learnt this lesson yet.

Bingo. It’s the same reason marketers love the 15-34 demographic. They haven’t woken up to the bullshit yet.

Actually I've noticed that many of the new grads recently all go home early and really dont care that much. I'm not sure if they're sensible, or maybe attracted to the industry because of the jobs and money and aren't really that interested in tech. Or just dont know what a tough job market looks like. But seems different now.
