How the Valley treats experienced people

I don't discriminate on age but realistically someone is not senior until they have 10 years experience. That generally puts them in their 30s.

The younger ones can overwork themselves, job hop, write bad code. And then an experienced coder can sigh and fix it.

You can have a senior programmer in their 30s and a junior programmer in their 50s, if the latter is a career-changer fresh out of a coding bootcamp, or with a couple of MOOCs under their belt. Age is often correlated with seniority, but correlation is not causation...

I understand. But typically some one out of college or took a boot camp even needs that amount of time so many are in their 30s. The 50 year is a rarer case.
