Re: Do older programmers even need help? (Score 1)

There is no automatic network. Almost everyone I worked for or with is dead or retired. Somehow that has made me unemployable. Many of the best programmers have very poor social skills. But you expect me to have deep contacts? Then I see I am just supposed to magically branch out on my own? Again with my deep social skills? Ageism is against the law but good luck proving it. My advise to young programmers is, get out the moment you can.
