A recent article published on the New Republic has sparked widespread concern about age discrimination in Silicon Valley. The author, Noam Scheiber, interviewed a San Francisco plastic surgeon, Seth Matarasso, who said his main customers were gradually turning from middle-aged women into Silicon Valley tech workers, aged more than 40 and even more than 20 years old.

Dr. Seth Matarasso often hears customers say, "I'm 40 years old, but I'm dealing with a group of young people with a board that I can't look like I have a wife and several kids and a mortgage." "Many Silicon Valley companies have a particular preference for young people," he said.

Mark Zuckerberg also agrees with this, he said at an event held at Stanford University in 2007:

Young people are smarter. Why are most chess masters less than 30 years old? I do not know. Young people have simpler lives, we may not have a car, we don't have a family, but a simple life allows us to focus more on important things.

In fact, many young people in the United States have been in touch with programming since they were more than 20 years old and have been in the industry for more than 10 years, already known as experts. Although they lack experience, young people have a strong ability to learn, and it is important that young people accept lower wages.

It is undeniable that the Silicon Valley has now become the most ageism in the United States, the older people in the job search, work often encounter various obstacles, so many technology men began to plastic surgery. A cosmetic hospital in San Francisco wrote about the new product:

Plastic surgery to get a good job may sound extreme, and may not be necessary, but according to the feedback of many lawyers, employers and job seekers, it is worth the money to find a good job in the Bay Area for tech companies these days.

Although age discrimination is completely illegal, many people would rather turn to the scalpel rather than go to court to prosecute in the face of this problem.
