Wow, I hope I'm still productive at that age.
Though luck. In Americans, coding powers disappear at 40. It's a known fact.
Hopefully the age discrimination lawsuit against google will change that.

#12I notice the mouse, I really hope Apple do acknowledge they make crappy mouse.
Another thing I am wondering, what makes a company not hiring programmer at old age when their brain are still functioning properly?

With more age usually comes more experience, and with that higher wages. That's the canned answer.
But in this case I see your point. Many of these young CEOs just don't want older people in their offices. They have youth as part of "their culture". They also generally assume that older workers will be slower to adapt and less welcoming of a more volatile work environment; both frequent traits of many tech companies.

Her website is interesting looking. It reminds me of the sites I used to make when I first learned to code HTML from scratch.
