currently i do freelancing with a partner of mine and we have noticed that most employers and managers require programmers and web-developers to be young and fresh.
at first it seemed weird because who would make use of a web-developer with zero experience?! few words came into my mind; creativity, easy to change their minds, cost less money, lack of confidence....
but does that mean that old programmers arnt needed?!! im afraid that my value decreases as i grow up, i mean ill never stop loving programming (ill be burried with my laptop) but im talking from the business view, i keep hearing that when programmers grow up they work as system analysts and project managers , is that true?
what do you think?
