Actually learning new stuff after years of experience is easier IMO... There comes a moment when there's nothing absolutely new, so you extrapolate Python to JS, JMQ to Kafka, Streams to Spark etc. What's hard is finding the time for all this interesting stuff 😀 it gets more and more challenging as years pass.

I have to disagree. I worked with A LOT of 50+ devs who still coded like 10 years ago. These guys don't like to learn new technologies or simply don't see the point of why they should learn something new when they have 15+ years of experience in one stack. Also they don't see the benefit of new workflows.

And why do you think you can generalize? Perhaps just different experience caused by different environment. I saw the opposite. Lazy juniors gtow into ignorant “seniors”, it's just that simple ☺️
