I think this is correct. The curve flattens with age (in my opinion).

> you saw a few exception

I think the seniors you met (the knowledgeable ones) /were/ the exceptions. Most seniors I have seen have convinced themselves that they know all there is to know.

I am getting on a bit and its not that I think I know all there is to know, but I see so much new tech that seems like pointless unnecessary complexity. I reckon that more than 90% of apps could be done in a classical MVP, with a bit of JQuery and a well tuned database. Most new ideas are a rehash of something from decades ago. It gets rather tiring.

Yeah, seems we've met different kinds of seniors... I don't know any senior who wouldn't understand that "the more you know, the more you understand just how much you still don't know".
