It's a tragedy for society to spend decades training people and then depriving them of work at some arbitrary age.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The older one gets in this profession, the more people there are with whom one would never work again.
The training of younger generations is very close to my heart.
In an ageing society, it makes sense to support older adults to develop new skills, prolonging their working lives.
I think it is inevitable that people program poorly. Training will not substantially help matters. We have to learn to live with it.
Labor looks different in the 21st century. And so should our job training programs.
I think it's become an economic necessity for people to be able to learn and grow throughout their lives, because most people can't get through their entire career with one skill set. We have to keep reinventing ourselves.
We have a training period; we have certain guidelines and structure. You can't hire talented people and stifle them. That's not the way it works anymore.
Discrimination due to age is one of the great tragedies of modern life. The desire to work and be useful is what makes life worth living, and to be told your efforts are not needed because you are the wrong age is a crime.
What the tech industry often forgets is that with age comes wisdom. Older workers are usually better at following direction, mentoring, and leading.
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
