Solving really hard problems is valuable. Little gets easier, but you can get better at it.
You have me wondering .. Does expertise from experience (whether compressed into a few years or a lot) qualify as reverse ageism? Is anyone being excluded or denigrated?
It seems plausible (but not exclusively) that the more time and effort you apply to something, the better you will probably get at it. Time alone isn’t a measure of experience and expertise but it doesn’t hurt.
It’s just describing what the experience of someone who has been at something for a while.. might end up like.

No, of course not - isn't it silly that we have to ask if that is "reverse ageism" to say that people who spend time at something are generally better at it? That's universally true of every single human endeavor, isn't it? "It seems plausible (but not exclusively) that the more time and effort you apply to something, the better you will probably get at it." - Why does it sound like you're shying away from stating something that should be immediately obvious to every single person? Is it because you're afraid of the charge of reverse ageism if you agree? If so...isn't that silly? "It seems plausible (but not exclusively) that the more time and effort you apply to something, the better you will probably get at it. Time alone isn’t a measure of experience and expertise but it doesn’t hurt." - I agree wholeheartedly - again, I thought that was obvious.
