I think this is a very opinionated and one-sided article. Prejudices exist everywhere and ageism definitely exist. You're most likely to complain about a particular prejudice when: it directly affects you, you think it directly affects you, or it affects someone you know. As far as ageism I definitely understand the point of view the author has. I think the other side of the story here is in the workplace the "more experienced" engineers "may" dismiss the ideas and contributions of a younger engineer even if they are completely valid and logical. This is the kind of social prejudice I have witnessed in the workplace. There are most certainly even more prejudices that exist in the workplace regarding age. I think it's unfortunate that the author decided to rant about an issue and not present all the facts as if a particular group of people have it easier than a different group.
