The article concludes with this:

  Against  this background,  we  argue  that  preserving  employability  cannot  and  should  not  solely be the burden of the developers themselves. Companies should take their share of responsibility, encourage practices  that  welcome  developers  of  any  age  and  curb  those  negatively  affecting  older  developers.
Ok I don't disagree. But how is such a conclusion justified by googling a "age software developer" and seeing what pops up? Paper seems pretty thin.


Also it is not a refereed paper, why then write it in a format like this? Make it clear when you publish opinion or position pieces, people.
