This is true, but for a pure dev role (writing code, closing tickets, no technical leadership) I maintain that a C expert with 10 (recent) years' experience is functionally indistinguishable for a C expert with 35 years.

Is that because the previous 25 years experience from the one dev is now obsolete or because you essentially know all it is you need to know to be a great dev after 10 years? The first comment stated the former, but this one seems to be implying that latter.
