How do we solve ageism in the tech industry?

Should companies be required to have 50% of the employees be 50+ years old?

I see boomers working in Starbucks and home Depot all the time. ask them

If you worked for more than 20 years in tech the chances of you hitting the lottery on your vested stock being worth millions becomes extremely high, that's why there are no journeymen around from the 90s. As time goes on this will probably become less common.

The guy who used to deliver my take out food when I was working from home said he couldn't land a programming job because all the startup were looking for young people. He must have been in his 40s or early 50s. There's this thing called "company culture" where crazy HR departments want everyone to be friends and bond with each other, I guess they think you can't work with people who aren't close in age to you.

The industry was not as large 30 years ago.

One of my favorite coworkers is worth like $50 million, but between his wife's honey-do list and his family's nutso drama he prefers the quiet lift working 9-5 to retirement.

Depends on the region and company. You'll see people 40+ working at large companies outside of the bay area and NYC.

we increase penalties for age discrimination
make it worthwhile to lawyers and it solves itself
quotas are a strawman propped up by SV companies
