Good piece on ageism in tech. The only thing I would add is that forcing out old engineers also makes systems more fragile, since they're generally the only ones who understand legacy code. (For example, banks and COBOL.) https://onezero.medium.com/ctrl-alt-delete-the-planned-obsolescence-of-old-coders-9c5f440ee68 …
I actually think that people are made obsolete for the same reasons devices are made obsolete. Or the other way around... And true! More experienced workers are less malleable, have better BS detectors, and are less likely to work for cheap. Industries like eager and malleable!
