I'm curious as to how the situation will look 20 years down the line as the current (young'ish) workforce grows up. My hunch is that as the industry matures, the current trend of age discrimination will gradually fall by the wayside. There will always be some predisposition, as within most industries, to tend towards age discrimination in certain situations. However, my guess is that software will begin to look more like established engineering professions, demographic wise, as time goes on.
