I don’t think age has anything to do with how open you are to try new things, it’s an age old throve, but it really depends on the person. Most of our IT staff is young, and they are extremely unwilling to try new things out. Mean while most of our developers and project managers are aged 35-55 and they are all open to new things. I think you need to fit you team with the kind of people you want, in development you want risk-willing people, in operations you want to focus on stability. I will say that a lot of young people often put more zeal and conviction into it, when they do try new things, but that’s rarely an advantage. But actually trying new things? That’s not tied to age at all in my experience.
