Most of the programmers on my team are in their 40s and 50s, and they're very good at what they do. I know a guy who graduated with a computer science minor back in the early 80s. He used his feeble mind to start a software company which he sold for many millions of dollars.

Are you actually suggesting that someone with 20 years of real life exeperience might have more knowledge and skills that some snot nosed punk?

OP you are a tool, one of the reasons you should respect your elders is that wisdom comes with age. Thanks for giving us a perfect example of the ignorance of youth.....

I wouldn't like working in an environment where people are listening to my conversations and running back to someone snitching about something I said in jest.

Sounds like a fine place of work you got there, or perhaps you are a marked man and just don't know it.

Wait till you're 40, married, got a couple of kids, mortgage and bills to pay and suddenly get layoff. Then some asshole looks at your resume and comments about how you're old and useless. Karma is a bitch. Enjoy.
