I'm 30 and I feel "unhirable". Pretty much up to speed on most platforms and languages.

I guess it's for the better. Flipping burgers is probably in my future, and I am pretty happy with it.

Why do you feel unhirable?
Did you notice his username? If he really feels like he can't be a "cultural fit" at age 30, something is terribly wrong with this industry and I blame ageism.
Ageism? No. Activists who brand people as heretic for not agreeing with Popular Political Opinion #37
You don't think ageism has anything to do with the fact that a 30 year old developer is considered to not be a cultural fit in a given company just because of age?
You're right, I am sorry.
