In my experience highly technical people can be among the worst when it comes to working with radically new tech. I’m sure there is a similar effect for other fields and new developments there.
But once one becomes known as knowledgeable and skilled in their domain, I think there is fear/concern over their image when it comes to the new thing. If they are going to try the new thing, they have to make sure they do it perfectly and as a result they’ll end up relying on the best practices others discover, or alternatively put down the new tech explaining why it actually isn’t good.
Meanwhile you have completely un-tech savvy folks who are using it for all sorts of cool stuff because they are just playing around and trying things out.
Honestly one of my big aims in life is to never fear being the noob and asking stupid questions and just trying things out.
