What are my thoughts on ”ageism” in the tech industry? Does it impact job hunt and hiring?

A great conversation in Twitch chat came up about asking my age, and whether being almost 50 impacted my job hunt and how I view age in the tech industry. I say it a lot, but if you can tell a good story, and show relevance to a company, and why you matter, and that you can DO the job, your age should not matter. That said, bias is real in the tech industry, too, and it's hard to detect discrimination.
