Genius Bar doesn't hire retired Apple engineer, fires up age discrimination debate: "Famously, Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said that "young people are just smarter" at a conference in 2007."

Young people write shitty code and too much of it. There's so much of it out there. Shitty code, that is. University grads produce terrible code. If you don't believe me, go on github and read it. Yawn.

From time to time I do contracting jobs on iOS projects. Almost always, they hire me after 4 engineers have tried to solve the problem and failed.

One thing older engineers typically do not do is sell their soul (read: 90 hour work weeks) to an inexperienced CEO and his VC overlord for stock options that in 3-5 years will be worthless slips of paper.
