I've written software for Intel, Nintendo, Samsung, LG, DirecTV, Applied Materials, Microsoft, and Apple to name a few. My last project was the basis for an entire business line at a 500m/yr company.

I am unemployable because I'm a white male whose in his 40s, has a family, and because somehow, in this industry experience is a bad thing.

It amazes me how intolerant of age and differing opinion tech culture is.

I'd rephrase that a little: it is not because you are a white male.

It wouldn't have helped if you were a minority either: in fact that can be even harder - at least around here.

But it is annoying in a special way to hear about that male privilege thing and know it means next to nothing - and still be told you should feel bad about it.
