Unfortunately big salaries aren't enough for many.

In my opinion, if you are a manager, it's good to hire people that are genuinely interested in the project thus better work.
Usually after x amount of years your interest diminishes and it's probably to late to let that person go. So older devs just get a newbie to do it for them.

This is just my speculation.

I think its funny theres a guy in my class that works at epic and whenever he cant figure something out he ask me. i dont just give the answer or fix i explain it to him. it seems like he doesnt want an explanation and gives me the impression of being annoyed.

do older devs not understand that terminology is everything working as a group. plus it makes learning languages way easier.

idk how he works there i should apply for his possition see what happens lol

I thought Epic was supposed to be a fairly decent shop too.

They'd probably reject you for not being a baby boomer

What does trouble shooting issues have to do with software engineers? I'm a developer and I probably wouldn't know about most troubleshooting issues. I develop enterprise applications from the start of the lifecycle until they are in production but that doesn't make me a troubleshooting expert.
