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.

Do you honestly think you'd even get to where you are if you were, say, black?

Do you think you'd want to be a part of such a hostile crowd who assumes less of your ability and that none of your credentials are deserved due to handouts?

That one group has it worse does not invalidate the lived experience of another group.

He said his whiteness hurt his employability.

That was one reason he gave. I agree it's a poor one: being white in this country does not hurt employability in general, or in the tech industry.

However being over 40, having a family, and having experience certainly all can be detrimental.

No denying that here.
