Not really a problem for me but that's because I had the foresight to realize this is the way things are going and that it's time to get into my own thing and start my own companies if I am going to survive. The thing that was the writing on the wall for me ages ago was seeing older programmers with plenty of talent finding it hard to get work in their field, like the ageism thing, if you're past 35 or so and still just doing the labour thing and not in a management position people tend to give you the side eye in this industry...

So yeah if nobody is going to promote you to that you gotta promote yourself and start a company, that has been clear to me for at least 5 years since I did that. It's kind of weird seeing people complain as if this is a race subject though. I think the discrimination may be there for that but it's beyond it too and has been for a LONG time now.
