Older IT Workers Left Out Despite Tech Talent Shortage
Maybe there really isn&#x27;t a shortage of tech talent, and that narrative has been pushed by companies in an effort to encourage more people to enter the industry with the promise of easily finding jobs that pay well in order to increase the supply with younger, less expensive workers who are more easily exploited for long hours and poor conditions? It stands to reason that more senior devs would be the ones shafted by this scheme.<p>Maybe I should get my tinfoil hat checked out, but every time I see a giant tech company with one of those &quot;everyone can learn to code!&quot; pushes, all I see are executives hoping to play the long game and reduce the cost of engineering talent.
