Why can't there be more companies that are honest and open like this?
So many companies avoid publicly discussing age discrimination while at the same time rampantly engaging in it behind the scenes

A job posting for a software developer stating "we hire old people" has sparked renewed attention to ageism in the tech industry.
"Unlike Silicon Valley, we do not discriminate based on age," reads the job listing for a senior software developer by Chicago-based startup RelevantDB. "Experience matters. We hire old people. (And young people, too.)".........
Ageism is well-documented in the tech industry. A recent study by the University of Gothenburg found that tech workers over 35-years-old are considered old by the industry, while young workers are considered to be up to about 30 years of age.
Workers over the age of 35 are expected to be "less interested in technology and more interested in management," creating a stigma that older workers would not be "up to date with the latest technology and its potential," the study found.
