> you abandon the valuable capital of experience.
it has nothing to do with how you treat each generation. it's whether or not you have a continuous shared work experience from the elders to the youngsters over and over.
if your company abandoned big projects for small local stuff and then a few generations later suddenly decided to go big again, you'd suck at it.
if you're good at it, it's because the people right before you were doing it already and passed on their experience.
(this doesn't mean something can't be done the first time - it just means if you don't have institutional knowledge, you have to suck at it first and then get better).
