"And what goes around comes around"?
You make it sound as if it's a 20-something's fault for getting hired.
What do you think the median age of managers, HR employees, and executives are? They're the ones doing the hiring.

Software engineering employees tend to have a lot more say in hiring than in other fields. I have not participated in a single interview process, on either side, where a single engineer expressing doubt about a candidate would not at least be seriously listened to and discussed. And sure, none of them are going to say right-out, "This guy's old!" But, if they are truly discriminatory, they will consistently find other things wrong with those candidates and overplay issues that they would normally not. And that kind of discrimination will play itself out over time into a skewed distribution of employees.
