Not always though. I'm inclined to trust younger doctors more (because many doctors don't keep up to date), have found that older executives alarmingly often seem to be okay with the status quo and if you've never heard people in the news industry complain about those old journo geezers who refuse to learn anything new, you're not listening very carefully. Teachers and sometimes even professors nearing retirement, same thing. (I'm simply trying to show that "age is wisdom" is very dependent on the industry. Whether older programmers are, as a rule, more or less valuable than younger ones, I dunno.)
