Not hard at all. Just filter for the ones over 40 who expect a
decent salary. Maybe they've already moved to upper management.
ROFL! Yes!
And that crazy idea that being in "management" (overhead positions
that require no real brainpower) as opposed to creating things has
really crippled our industry. We have a crop of highly talented,
interested programmers who are bored to tears in meetings, and the work
they SHOULD be doing is being done by PFYs who wouldn't know elegant
simplicity if it walked up and pinched them on the ass.
