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'm a white male programmer in my mid-50's, have a family, and I am very employable. Quit whining.

Personal attacks will get you banned here, regardless of how wrong someone else is. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't post like this to HN.

The comment would have been just fine with only the first sentence.

Implying that he finds somebody elses complaint "whiny" is a personal attack? Ok.
