I think the difference may be approach. I found those older were often better at estimating and had a breadth of knowledge they could draw from.

Honestly, I think generally everyone comes to the table with experience. Those who are older typically can tie theirs together better than we can vocalizing between members, so they have an edge.

Everyone I’ve worked with has always been willing to learn (it’s what I personally and companies screen for in interviews) so that’s never been a problem.

Generally though, age doesn’t play a role in anything meaningful I’ve seen. Years of experience In a field can help, willingness to learn, and attitude / temperament, that’s about it - irrespective of age
