I agree that there's ageism, but some of that is justified if you want
fresh minds to address new problems.

That works in a small percentage of cases. However what usually happens is
the "fresh minds" make the same old mistakes of previous generations and
just
end up re-inventing the wheel. Often poorly.

and either way, you don't need a whole team of 20 to be under 25.

(unless you are a 30 year old manager who scared he might have his technical
capabilities "shown up" - heard stories of that, never personally
experienced it)
