Have you ever been involved in hiring people? As an interviewer, or resume filterer, or whatever. Was there an unusually large supply of qualified old people?

Have you ever been involved in hiring people? As an interviewer, or resume filterer, or whatever. Was there an unusually large supply of qualified old people? If systematic, career-limiting age discrimination is putting people out of work in tech, I'd expect a bunch of good older candidates on the job market -- but I didn't see that, at a startup in the bay area and a big company in Boston. Certainly some companies would be nauseating to anybody that isn't a gross manchild, believe me, I feel it! But the articles you link have anecdotes and fallacies, like citing the average age of employees as evidence -- any rapidly growing company will soak up employees that have recently relocated to the area, and they'll be younger.
