Sometimes yes. But it is impossible to know for sure. New things still get adopted, some of those new things actually stick and provide value

  And at the very least, being old lets you be able to evaluate these new things more accurately.

    How?

    It obviously does, but experience is not the only way: you can always read what people wrote and did in the past. It only takes some humility.

      You can, and it will certainly help, but as the old saying goes "unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself". In some contexts no amount of reading will give you the insight that experience does.

        And vice versa, too (granted my own learning style leads me to implementing what I read in little test projects, but I digress) Overall though, I'm finding the more unique sensory info you give your brain, the better it gets at solving problems in general. Even if that info isn't very related to your goal. It's a bit like trying not to be a hammer that sees everything as a nail.
