La Botana is located on the connector that runs parallel to I-285 on the same side of I-285 as the AJUG meeting location (Holiday Inn Select).

Now, whether that's rational or if the lure of "more current skills" pans out is another discussion altogether. That study seems to indicate it may not be. And, context is important; startups vs. established companies may each want and need different types of people than the other, too. On the positive side, I have noticed in meetups and conferences that a lot of the clientele is aging with me; not *ALL* of my contemporaries have gone into management; some of us still like actually producing something of value ;-) _______________________________________________ ajug-members mailing list ajug-members-4vciHtwbE8s&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://www.ajug.org/mailman/listinfo/ajug-members </pre> Michael Campbell 2013-04-29T23:10:32 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.ajug.members/7286 <pre>I saw this study popup yesterday as well. Had a couple of thoughts on it. 1. I’ve spent a good bit of time on stack overflow (who hasn’t?) and I’ve noticed that the best way to get a high SO score is to answer quick broad questions. Seems I always get more points for this than for an obscure and detailed answer. Meaning presence on SO may be more important than depth of knowledge. This study kind of just shows that older programmers have higher SO scores. Agree with the article but the statistical analysis is bad. 2. I’ve always thought this was kind of a cop out reason to fire people. Most programmers who are good invest in new techs simply because they enjoy it. I’ve always felt it was really more of an excuse to fire the guy that makes 100k+ and replace him with a new grad at 50K, “We need some new blood, the old programmers don’t want to learn X”. Does the code suffer from this attitude?

Overall, older devs (37 and up) had better reputations (meaning they provided more helpful information) than younger developers. This trend held true even if you looked at only "recent" technologies like mobile development. http://news.ncsu.edu/releases/wms-murphyhill-age-2013/ This is rather interesting to think about since there is a perception that employers often fire older, more expensive/experienced developers to hire cheaper, younger devs with more current skills.

Er umm excuse me, was channeling some memes there. For those of you who don't know, Linode has had a bit of a security oopse on their site. hashed passwords were retrieved as well as encrypted credit card information and possibly the keys to the encryption as well. If you are the paranoid type, update your passwords and if they have you CC on file you probably need to get a new card. If you are less paranoid they just doubled the sizes of all their instances for the dollar.
