Most of the companies try to hire younger developers as they don’t have any commitments or responsibilities towards family as they do not have wife or kids. A person of 40 will have lots of responsibilities on his shoulders like wife, children, parents, etc. Moreover, the experienced developers need to take leaves very often to compensate their social responsibility. They might be having medical issues like B.P., Diabetes, Depression, etc. as seen in the IT sector employees due to lots of pressure of deadline.
In my opinion, age is not important for a programmer. Yes there is an opinion that if a programmer is over 40 years old he is inferior to younger people. I think this point of view is one-sided, if a programmer is young it is easier for him to learn, but he may not have experience. A programmer who is over 40 years old can be experienced and retain the ability to learn, everyone will be happy to see such a specialist. But if you just start at 40, be prepared to work hard at the beginning to catch up on the lost years.
