Not a developer but I'll echo the sentiment above. I think especially in your career it is critically important to be surrounded by people you can learn from. This also implies (to me) that they are 'high performers' with something worth teaching and therefore likely to be promoted and/or do something interesting in the future and these are the type of people you want to be around for general career development and network as well.
