Age discrimination in tech is not bullshit. You cannot wish it away by not believing in it. I think we need to collectively find a solution.

Age discrimination in tech is not bullshit.

Nobody is saying that "age discrimination in tech is bullshit." What is being said, and what I believe is supported by the weight of the evidence, is that in most of industry (eg, outside of Silicon Valley), it is not the case that "30 is old in tech."

The "tech scene" is a lot more than just SV, and the kinds of things you hear about as common-place in SV just don't seem to be so common elsewhere.
