A survey about the programmer! Need your help! Thanks.

1. Do you think people cann't do this job(Programmer) after 30 or 35 years old? 2. Have you found this condition that the company limit the age in its recruitment information? 3. Do you think that's lose face if someone is still a programmer(just a programmer, not a manager) after 35 years old?

No. Why does everybody have to be a manager? Many people are not interested in management. Some very good large company's (hp, ti, intel) have realized this and use a "technical latter" so the these folks can continue to do what the enjoy and receive recognition for being highly skilled technologist that contribute to the company's success.

天气常如二三月，花技不断四时春。1 - what a stupid question 2 - no. If anything, I'd expect tech to have less focus on how many years they can get out of a person 3 - JUST a programmer ? Are you on drugs ? We're supposed to look down on the managers, not vice versa....

I notice his first question is a double negative. It would be clearer if he asked 'can people do this after 30 or 35'. I'm 38 BTW, and I'm sure I'm far from the oldest here. Damn, I hope so....

Not necessary. Experience counts.

No idea.

There are people who love programming. Title doesn't mean anything to them as long as they are doing what they love to do and paid reasonably.

Fixed. Which bit didn't you like ? What's made you think that someone can be too old to write code ? Or, what makes you think that everyone should feel the need to be a manager by a certain age ?

天气常如二三月，花技不断四时春。Well, that's their problem. I mean, if the recruitment agency won't talk to you, go to the employers direct. That's what I've always done.

I caught that also. In the past I spent a lot of time in S.E. Asia and the Pacific Rim and got pretty used to the double negative use. When I run into it now and again, I tent to read it as native english speakers had written it.

Am I the only one who has as a starting point the opinion that recruitment agencies are run by morons ? I've dealt with them, and it's never been positive. The only job I've ever applied for and not got, in software, was through an agency ( although, the problem was that they wanted someone in Sydney, not Hobart, but that's my point, they just threw me at the job, even though I was in a completely different part of the country to what was needed, and was not offering to move ).
