"I'm 57 and tired. Tired of sending out applications and hearing nothing. I
watch younger people with better resumes do the same thing. We're all getting
crushed by the same machine, just from different angles.

The market has fractured into something brutal. It's like some twisted monster
from Stranger Things, but worse.

Companies don't want me because I'm too expensive and supposedly can't learn
new tools. They don't want 23-year-olds because training takes time and AI can
do their job faster. They want people in their early 30s who already know
everything, cost less than I do, and can start contributing yesterday.

Even then, those people aren't managing teams anymore. They're managing AI.

This isn't a generational war. It's a structural collapse. And most of us are
trapped in it."
