I am NOT a bad developer. I have a resume that just kills. 15 years of experience. But, I am 52 years old now and basically have been thrown out with the garbage. Why hire me when you can hire a 25 year old that can crank out code way faster and is willing to work much longer hours than I am. All I can say to the hiring managers I've interviewed with recently is fuck you.

I'm not going to cry about it. I am writing my own software now for myself and making money. Should have started this earlier but I didn't have the wherewithal to do so. But now I do and I'm not looking back...
