My father-in-law is in a similar position, just ten years older than parent. He always gets rejections based on "lack of cultural fit". Ageism is real in tech.

There is enough literature out there about the racist, sexist or ageist hiring practices in the tech sector that you might as well rethink your comment here. How old are you?

In may English-speaking countries ageism is the norm. You don't get any offer after 45 unless you are famous.

Why engage with a primary source when you can have your worldview spoonfed to you by a thinly-veiled Pharma ad masquerading as news?
Yeah, let's keep kvetching.
You can kvetch about the media all you want, but the job market is the best it has ever been, and unlikely to get any better. Sorry to be harsh here, but if you can't find a job in this market, you ought to reconsider your professional choices.
