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.

As a fairly old woman(mid thirties) for tech anyways and with a family now, I really feel your pain.

I get the ageist comments too, and contract work has really been dwindling. Web Dev really seems a young person game. If my husband didn't have a stable job, I'd be in a lot of trouble.

Web dev = abuse more or less. We've replied a few times to each other lately. Stay strong :)
