I like to think of people as having chronological age as well as a [skill] age, with chronological age being largely irrelevant among adults. I'm 41 and my co-founder is 27. He had been programming Java for 7 years when I met him, and now he's a decade in. He has taught me a ton about programming, and I expect the lessons to continue. As a person gets older and specializes, the likelihood that someone younger than them, on a separate path, will have a higher [skill] age increases, which means they need to be increasingly open to learning from chronologically younger people.
