Wow thats cool! How are you actually getting end user views? Is it through the PR articles or do you have a plan in mind? What is a "faux price tag"? :-) .. how does it work?

#93If there's an insistance on a fixed-width font for the site, I really wish it was something more like Consolas/Inconsolata etc... The job descriptions are nearly unreadable on my display, lighter gray, with a relatively thin font weight.

#94Hopefully sites like this can throw a bone to us old dogs out there.

#95I started a new career as a front-end developer at the age of 33(last year), so I have my age and lack of experience counting against me. I must say, I do worry about my future prospects a lot. Hopefully sites like this can throw a bone to us old dogs out there.

#97Here's the deal: Employers will exploit your age no matter how old you are. There is no "perfect age" for a developer. When you're young, they exploit you because you are inexperienced (especially at negotiation). When you are "old" they exploit by trying to play the age card. "Not a cultural fit"--LOL--fix your stupid culture and stop exploiting people, you smug fools! So what is there? A ten year "ripe" age range w…
If you're hiring someone 15+ years older than the rest of your team, there are going to be some cultural differences.

#98Congrats! Small note, none of the listings appear when using uBlock Origin [ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpa... ], a popular ad blocker. It seems related to your /js/ads-controller.js file (it gets blocked because of the "/js/ads-" portion in the path). I would suggest fixing that (and preferably minimizing your JS into one bundle).

#100Earlier quoted context omitted.
It reverses it by discriminating against the young, fighting ageism with ageism. I didn't realise age discrimination against those younger that 40 was legal in the US. There are other countries where a "jobs for the old" site would most likely be illegal.
Except it's not jobs just for people who are older, it's companies explicitly saying they do not discriminate based on age. No one is saying they'll only hire someone 40+, unless they're looking for 20+ years experience which implies your age.
