What I find about older people who complain about ageism in tech is that most of them really just wanna be in management or admin and not do the grunt work of actual dev or ops. That or they insist that they are relevant despite knowing only the same frameworks or methodologies that haven't been in vogue for 15+ years, and only now they got laid off.
I hate to generalize, but never in my experience (I am over 40) have I ever even seen a resume with potential ever get turned away due to age.
