I think it's much less of a problem these days, partly because the talent crunch forced tech companies to hire older employees as well.
It's still present, but not as rampant and intense as it was. It was discussed and acknowledged, but that didn't magically make it go away. Zuck stated on record that if you're over 30, successful companies should not employ you, and he was the founder and owner of a major tech corporation.
Everyone knew it was going on, in fact it was acknowledged, and it was illegal, yet nobody did anything about it, and it kept going. Dispels your illusion of how illegal / immoral things just go away when they are exposed. The current trend of gender and race-based discrimination won't just go away by itself, either.
