So you're saying experience doesn't matter. We just need people who use whatever trendy frameworks this month?
Sounds about right. /s
Lets put it in another way - when you're over 30 you don't have that much naivety anymore to waste your life working on somebody others ideas and be underpaid, and you understand that startup stock options are bullshit.
I'm a bit worried about this -- assuming you are over 30, how will they decide you "have the vitality" aside from all the other interview stuff?
I'm pretty sure that there's no Cool Tech in the valley anyways
