So some NC State grad students correlated user's ages and reputation on
Stack overflow.  Overall, older devs (37 and up) had better reputations
(meaning they provided more helpful information) than younger developers.
 This trend held true even if you looked at only "recent" technologies like
mobile development.

This is rather interesting to think about since there is a perception that
employers often fire older, more expensive/experienced developers to hire
cheaper, younger devs with more current skills.
