#12I hadn't seen this site before, and I think it's a great idea. Though I'm young, I am certainly terrified about the trend of age discrimination in the valley - after all, we all age! I'm glad to folks trying to make a meaningful difference in the trend. Perhaps through good samaritans such as OP, those same twenty-somethings that reject so many qualified applicants on account of age will receive better treatment when they themselves reach 35 or 40.

#14I thought I was on medium.com.. You need to add a call to action to the end of your post! Add a short line - "if you've experienced ageism checkout these job listsing at /link" or "to see what I built visit /link" or something similar. Lots of lazy people want to click a link at the end of your post to see your site rather than trying to find a link in your profile or scrolling all the way to the top. Plus when someone inevitably copies your content, you get a free link.
I should make a site with marketing tips for devs...

In 5 years there will be some new hot nodejs and then those current 20 year old will find the same thing and they will complain about the same thing. Oracle and Sap job pay pretty well and they are filled with old people (30+).

Yeah, but have you noticed a ton of articles on HN complaining about the problem that you fix? That's the difference here.
