Do you believe, when interviewing an individual, it is helpful to make assumptions about them based on their age before you start the interview?

If what I'm looking for is an experienced developer to round out a team (e.g. if it has a bunch of junior devs already), then I'm gonna look pretty silly interviewing a freshly graduated 23-year old. I'm not going to assume any old dev is wise or experienced, but I'll use heuristics and basic logic to figure out who it even makes sense to interview.
