To every recruiter at a Big Company, seeing this post:
Go hire a 19-year-old.
The most talented people right now in marketing, tech, and AI...the ones breaking barriers and outpacing everyone...are 16 to 25.
They grew up building with LLM's, Cursor, and Claude. They don't need to unlearn anything. They're AI-native and passionate as hell; in a way no one over 30 can fake.
Y Combinator can't serve alcohol at their events anymore since too many of their founders are underage.
Chatbase just hired 15 creators with an average age of 18.44 to show the world how effortless building custom AI can be.
Hiring young isn't a trend. It's a correction.
Go hire a teenager.
