I was the youngest engineer (by quite a bit ~ 10 years) in my team for a good decade. Which in hindsight I probably should have left earlier than I did. But from that experience what I did notice is that there were two types of older engineers. Those that continued to WANT to learn new things and those that were intellectually lazy and essentially said, "We've never done that before." Well the intellectually lazy all got laid off over time. The guys who wanted to learn new things generally kept finding ways to stay relevant and add value to the organization. I think it's simple as just - never stop learning!
