A catastrophic health problem can change your plans overnight, at any age. Throw in that the older you get, the more likely it is to happen ... and employers can do the math too.

Not sure what the point of this response is. A catastrophic health problem can happen to anyone, whether they are a coder, in management, etc.

The biggest clue shortage on the hiring side is requiring x years of experience with a tool or product that has only been out for less time than they're demanding. I've lost count of the numbers of times I've seen such asinine job posting requirements.

They want someone who's willing to be a slave. If a technology has only been out for 2 years, but they ask for 4 years of experience with it, then they want to know you were working with that technology for 80 hours/week for 2 years.
