ASK HN: IS AGEISM IN TECH STILL A PROBLEM? (HACKER NEWS THREAD)

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Ageism has been a problem in tech for many years, and it doesn't look like that has changed. While age brings many positive qualities in terms of skill set, companies may be reluctant to hire older workers as their salary demands are higher and they have stronger work boundaries. Their seniority and directness can also intimidate younger managers and other workers. Younger workers are more likely to be flexible and build whatever without question, which is valuable for business owners.
