Maybe I've been lucky, but this doesn't mesh with my experience at all. The oldest guys at my company are the ones teaching the classes about Haskell or Scalaz. They're the ones trying out Elixir. They're the ones building frameworks for everyone else to build on top of.
The youngest people are banging out feature #4,501 for the website.
As you get older you should be spending more time experimenting, teaching, mentoring, reviewing and building foundation.
The senior guys are senior not because they've pumped out more features this year, but because they're making all the engineers around them better.
