They Said I'm Too Old for DevOps. I'm 33.

I’m 33 years old. To some recruiters, that’s "too senior" for the vibe. To others, I don’t have enough "architect-level" years in a tool that’s only existed for five. Meanwhile, my 18-year-old colleague writes Terraform better than most seniors I know. Ageism in tech is real, and it goes BOTH ways. But here is the truth: infrastructure doesn't care about your birth year. Kubernetes doesn't check your LinkedIn before accepting your YAML. In this video, I’m breaking down why results are the only metric that matters—whether you're 18 or 50. I’ve handled production while rockets flew overhead and built pipelines that saved teams weeks of work. That is impact. That is DevOps.
