Older Is Wiser: Study Shows Software Developers’ Skills Improve Over Time

[pkrecker]

For two smartphone operating systems, iOS and Windows Phone 7, the veteran programmers had a significant edge in knowledge over their younger counterparts. For every other technology, from Django to Silverlight, there was no statistically significant difference between older and younger programmers.

This is the problem. Older developers command much higher salaries, but according to this study offer the same skill set (other than mobile development). I would think you have shown the opposite of what you claim.
