Most people who have been in industry a long time, have great skills when it comes to picking up new platforms. Granted, sometimes we can be jaded when new stack Foo claims to have all the same hotness as stack Bar did back in 2003.
When I have encountered age discrimination, it is usually because the org wants young gullible people with "passion" who put up with horrid working conditions, broken tech stacks and whacked out business models. The last thing they want is someone that has seen this three times and can point out the needless churn to support a CTO that doesn't know what they are doing.

True, although I wouldn't characterize it as being "jaded" as much as that experience makes the bullshit much easier to spot. And, generally speaking, the more experienced the dev, the lower the tolerance they have for bullshit.
