Age should be irrelevant, however it has some cultural aspect to it too.
At my previous work we wrote software for self-driving cars and worked with super young people who sometimes didn't even graduate college. We had serious issues selling to Asian customers who would not take us seriously just because of the average age of the devs being low. (P.s. we had multiple respectable big-name car companies as clients already, was not early stage startup or so)

I worked for a fairly “classic” Japanese corporation.
One of the things about their HR policy (I’m not sure if it was written, but it may have been), is that certain levels of seniority required that you be a certain age. No matter how much of a hot shot you were, you weren’t going to get your own team until your thirty-fifth birthday.
