> the same persons work in the same IT deps for decades... Guess I've found my solution to my persistent angst over the repeated 'old geeks are screwed' storie

  Well, of course. Old geeks are screwed on startups and startup-y companies. The enterprise IT (and the financial sector, major organizations, etc) are the places where old geeks are quite ok -- if not to hire, surely to keep past 40 and 50 when they have already been working for you. The median age in an IT department in a large enterprise is much higher than in any SV startup.
