Why would you even ask this? Please don't contribute to the ageism debate. My hunch is the programmer was qualified for the job.


Don't tell me what to do. I didn't say only reason I said one of the reasons. Something that separated the applicant from the pack of otherwise qualified people.

In any case unclear to me why it's a bad thing to note that someone older has a better chance of getting hired because it's easier for them to find living accommodations.
