What we need is a movement of `experienced` devs to get out there and form some companies that employ mainly older devs. I'm sure the quality from such a company would be incredible.
I found my gig by putting this on my SO Careers page: "I'm looking for a challenging position requiring significant programming expertise; preferably involving systems-level programming and/or CS theory". Open source work helped.
Older technologists are out there, but they're a bit nomadic.
