> a surgeon of my age is usually not experienced enough
Forget surgeons. My dentist is nearing retirement age and a younger dentist was brought in to be groomed to replace him. The youngish dentist on more than a few occasions mentioned he couldn't/wouldn't do certain procedures because one with more experience was necessary.
The 'young' dentist is no more than 30 years old. And in coding world, if you are over 30, you are considered over the hill.
> The experience is not valued here. So what is? The lack of experience?
What is valued is someone who can get productive with new trendy framework right away, while receiving minimal pay.
