Discrimination is rarely about “one thing”. That’s why the concept of intersectional identity exists, and how the various components of who you are (age, race, gender, parental status, etc) get weaponized against you. The more marks against you, the more discrimination you will run into. Agree about the difficulties in assessing technical talent though. Once tech talent surpasses the ability of their manager to understand what they do, career progression stops. So it largely becomes about tenure / seniority instead.
