the reason older developers are not hired is because they are perceived to not be willing to put in the hours that younger developers will.
Comparatively, to be fair an experienced older developer should have to spend less hours to produce quality code.
In the age of "screw everybody to get another quarter point from the stock", the ones in charge will never pay the older developers what they are worth. It doesn't matter that the inexperienced developers will make the huge mistakes the older people could have warned them away from. It doesn't matter that the degradation in product quality will likely have long term negative effects on the company. All that matters is short term financial gain by the executive staff in this country.
