Oh, absolutely, we often do. But, like the ancient kungfu master trope, you can't tell your juniors this directly, it's a realisation they have to reach themselves. Sometimes while being smacked in the face by the consequences of not listening.
(More seriously, being a curmudgeon doesn't help; being a mentor does)
