What Happens to Older Developers?

>> Lose any technologies older than a decade from your resume. Lose any references to "35 years of experience with...". Take off your hobbies. Take off your reasons for leaving your past employment. There are too many other fixes needed to go into.

And in that process lose any traits that might command a premium? Do senior developers not deserve to be compensated according to their experience?

You tailor your CV to the job. The CV is to get you the interview. The interview is to get you the job. The pay negotiations happen later.

Any job is a premium over "jack shit."
