The Death Of Lust

Younger men notice
the perfect ass
of a 20-year-old
and feel the
electric pinch
of desire.
All I feel
is the sharp elbow
of too…

In the consulting business the bias is justified by cost; older employees are usually more expensive as they have more years of experience and requisite pay raises. You can hire someone out of college or with a few years experience for much less money, have more competitive rates, and make more money. Or at least that is the theory. They actually…

The Old and the Internet

In the US, there is referrence to senior citizens and occasionally Elders. I have no idea what age range these categories are, except they are probably at least 60. In France it’s much clearer, there is a fourth generation, meaning 60–80 and fifth generation: 80 to 100. The 6th…

In my experience, the older one is the less gullible one tends to be. Project managers and tech startups need a lockstep team, with a unified vision, and a narrative everyone on the team can buy into and identify. When age diversity is included, it is more difficult construct such a lockstep, unified narrative. Should any situation occur threatening…

Just looking at the numbers, the journalism industry seems to be doing better than the tech industry with this whole age-diversity thing. The average age of someone working in a newsroom is 47, according to a study by Indiana University, which found that even at online news media outlets, the average age was 46. At tech companies, Steven Levy points…

“In the study, researchers looked at a group of people, all of whom were 38 years old. The researchers determined these participants’ “biological ages” based on how well their body systems were working. To determine each person’s biological…

And, I suspect, larger companies, if you define them as over, say, 2000 employees. It’s only the “big iron” co’s (Oracle, H-P, IBM, Cisco) that likely have decent numbers for the over-40 set (which if true makes them anathema to young companies as role models).

First, let me speak from the other side of the fence with the disclaimer that some of my own experiences may also be related to my gender.

I’m rarely taken seriously when I discuss anything tech-related. When I’m turned down for a job, it isn’t because I did poorly in the interview. In fact, all of the feedback I have…
