I often hear that tech companies are disproportionately young because the field has grown so much => most qualified people are young. But..

You might argue that there are proportionally more non-degreed people now than before. Maybe true, but that contradicts the stories I hear

Might be that staying in the field requires a degree of happy ignorance that only young possess? (I.e. "I'm too old for this shit")

Tech changes fast, and younger minds are more willing to adapt?

I'd say the older people are also more likely to have made enough money to retire or contract based on what they already know
