There are people I know who I would never hire at 50 because what they like to focus on is what's trendy and what their friends are talking about and what's getting posted here at Hacker News and places like it.

There are people I know who I would hire no matter their age or personal hygiene because they have such an incredible clarity of understanding of computation or software architecture that I am constantly in awe.

I hope that by the time I'm 50, I'm leaning more towards being like that second set of people, regardless of whether it gets me a job or not.
