It depends, sometimes it’s a good move to give an unofficial leader an official position.

I think a mix is the best. I worked in different teams, but with teams where the age were mixed I felt good and well thought out decisions was made.

Young devs are eager to learn and think older devs are in the way for new tech. Older devs have more mature look on life and know more about consequences of different decisions in the long run.

Ageism in a company makes it more shortsighted and plain out stupid. They make more mistakes, lose customers more, and make decisions that they regret later.

I agree. Kids at school using social media in class should be fined. I have since many years been out of FB, Instagram and Twitter. I don’t miss it a second. My kids is growing up without FB. I block it and other social media sites on a DNS-level.
