The ageism in tech is actually worse than the situation in the NBA (which I wouldn't really call ageism). Nobody thinks that fresh college graduates are the peak performers in basketball. It usually takes many years of experience before NBA players hit their peak. You have to learn how to win. Michael Jordan didn't win his first of 6 championships until his 8th year in the league. But somehow fresh college grads are highly sought after in tech, while experienced developers get pushed out of the industry entirely, despite the fact that physical attributes that decline with age and are relevant to sports are completely irrelevant to tech. Everyone in tech is looking for their young "Einstein". Except there was only 1 Einstein, and nobody is getting him for their startup.
