This seems to be a current problem but what's the solution?
If I had the money I could go hire a half dozen solid software engineers and at least 2 solid DevOps/SRE types today. I'm betting people in other fields could do the same.
And yet, good people remain unemployed and scared.
* will they be on-call?
* can they work long hours?
* how do I delegate to them?
* are they going to resist new tech?You can easily find an older person ranting against the idea of using full stack javascript, unaware of the V8 changes while still having some valid criticisms
But then wonder if their rejection is ageism, instead of the rant
just one example
There's isn't a quick fix or easy solution.
A lot of it involves masking and blending in by the candidate You can easily find an older person ranting against the idea of using full stack javascript, unaware of the V8 changes while still having some valid criticisms But then wonder if their rejection is ageism, instead of the rant just one example

Treating a person as part of a group is the problem.
And when you are trying to isolate one person out of many, like for a job hire, it's not easy to avoid mass-filtering to speed it up.
Not sure if there is a "solution" for that as a 35 yo hiring manager will probably have an easier time managing under-35 individual contributor comparing to a 50 yo one. Different perspectives, experiences, etc. So by hiring younger IC the manager makes a correct decision. Sucks for us older folks but that's life.
