I think there's more than just ageism involved as to why there aren't more older folks in tech. I think a major reason is simple demographics. There weren't a lot of folks graduating with CS degrees in the 90's, and quite few before that. There simply weren't a lot of older folks to hire. That said, I've been fortunate in my career. I currently work for a FAANG/MAANA company. I'm in my mid-40's, and many of my colleagues and report chain are older than myself. At a former employer I still keep in touch with, the software team has 1 in their 50's, 1 in their 60's, and 1 in their 70's. They all have other engineering or physics degrees.
