Diversity includes aging

We had a candidate for a developer position. He was aged (60+). He appeared as an introvert when he came for the interview. He also made it clear he wanted to do remote working when it was uncommon (12 years ago).

HE WAS THE PERFECT GUY when I looked at his resume since his background matched what we needed to start the project. His answers were short but clear and technically relevant.

We gave it a try.

It required some “twists” in management — especially with younger developers — but he delivered beyond expectations.
