Why is it a requirement that the developer you're seeking be young? Isn't this an example of arbitrary discrimination based on age? Just asking.

Changed the wording for that reason. I guess it's not discriminatory but when I think of someone getting into dev who is able to take the risk of going freelance I think primarily of people post education.

Agreed. The average age of people looking for this type of mentor is probably in the range of 20-30. On the other hand, a late bloomer could be just as rewarding to work with (I'm 72.)
