Age diversity will be "achieved" when young developers start valuing themselves properly, i.e., never. That whole nonsense of "culture fit" is really just a euphemism for won't fit into a culture of exploitation and extraction. You would also get a "not a good culture fit" if you had young devs who respected their time and drew limits. That's the thing about the abusive environment in the tech sector, you are only valuable if you are willing to do the modern equivalent of back breaking work to the point of exhaustion. Sure, it pays off for some ... usually the founders ... but for the vast majority it will not pay off and they will simply be left with having spent their young years hunched over laptops day in and day out in order to make others rich. It's the modern equivalent of the gold rush and young devs are the mules and hard laborers.
