Nowhere in the entire article is any actual demographics about any of the companies.
All of them publish staff demographics (EEO-1 reports) for gender and race. As far as I can tell, none publish for age.

- CobrastanJorji 9y agoExactly. Basing an article entirely on famous people over 30 that companies have hired is stupid, but even if you wanted to use that as your yardstick for some stupid reason, AWS still doesn't win. Sure, they have James Gosling (age 62), but Google has Vint Cerf (age 73).
