I really try hard to apply the principle of charity, but as a 67 year old developer who is still working, I'm afraid it's hard to read "search for young and talented people" without thinking of it as illegal age discrimination.

That said, I do like the interviewing approach we're replying to, other than that "y" word... :-)

Hey at least older people have laws that protect them.

Did you know that it is perfectly legal to discriminate against young people?

Yeah sucks to be them, I guess. Apparently nobody cares about discrimination against those people.

Old people are among the richest people in the world. But I guess when things are made fair, and neither young or old people are discriminated against, that appears like "discrimination" against those who are now being treated fairly.
