Title: 	Very soon ageism will catch up with me and I&#x27;ll be unemployed. ( I&#x27;m in my forties). I&#x27;m smart enough to do most business related software development but mediocre enough that I won&#x27;t be hired by the likes of Google.
As they say, most technical work or any work that requires deep focused thinking is generally a race to the bottom. I see great potential if programmers&#x2F;technical&#x2F;above average minded people are willing to put aside their overly individualist and reclusive tendencies, and start realistically co-operating. I&#x27;ll like to get in touch with fellow technical minded individuals who have realized this, and who want to hash out ideas for any mutual co-operation. I have nothing concrete in mind yet, but I can be reasonably sure that I&#x27;m not looking for software related ideas. I am 100% sure that if I do not take any steps now I&#x27;m going to be a unemployed bum in a few years. ( besides being unemployed you will also be see as useless - if you are male. Make no mistake, society is harsh on men who are not racking in money.)<p>A starting point could be some online forum where ideas&#x2F;views can be exchanged. It must me emphasized that this post is not a solicitation for money. Money might be involved but only at a significantly later stage.

In addition to emailing me I suggest that you also respond to my post here. It lets readers know that there are people in similar situations and that their problems (of ageism&#x2F;jobs) are not unique.
