Soylent Green is Old People

This weekend Dave was complaining about “ageism” in the tech world. On the one hand, Dave, and the TechCrunch article he references are correct. The tech world is rife with “-isms.” That’s the unfortunate ground state of a collective binary-thinking shut-ins. On the other hand:

Facing facts, I’ve been sidelined in tech for quite a number of years. No one offers me a place in new startups. When I was younger things were a lot different.

That couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Dave is generally annoying, arrogant and consistently displays a shocking lack of comprehension of any concept that doesn’t revolve around XML and outliners. Nope, couldn’t be that.
