I had an extremely bad experience with Developer Auction. Ultimately using the site got me fired from my job and the team at Developer Auction was extremely non-responsive/uncaring about it all. Matt Miszewski in particular was extremely callous.

Re:Why Ageism in Startups is BS on Thursday August 16, 2012 @10:55AM (#4391525)

"I don't see the connection between the title and the graph."

My thought was that startups target younger devs as they believe that they'll be more 'liberal' engineers. I think the graph shows that to be false.

edit: well I don't think the graph shows anything - but it suggests that age and liberalism are not correlated. Many people have suggested that the survey is flawed - and that Yegge's original post is biased against conservatives.

Re:Why Ageism in Startups is BS on Thursday August 16, 2012 @10:53AM (#4391514)

My thought is that startups tend to target 'liberal' developers so they can iterate fast and innovate rapidly. It's the 'fuck it ship it' kinda attitude.

Re:Why Ageism in Startups is BS on Thursday August 16, 2012 @10:52AM (#4391508)

Agreed. The questions (well they aren't actually questions - they're beliefs that you agree or disagree with) come from Steve Yegge's recent post on SWE: https://plus.google.com/u/0/110981030061712822816/posts/KaSK...
