One general benefit of experience is that it leads to the accumulation of tacit knowledge. I would guess that most tacit knowledge is domain-specific, though (my main experience with tacit knowledge is in mathematics). Do you have evidence that your more experienced coworkers are better at things outside of the workplace?
No serious evidence of outside-workplace competence.
Usual politics is mindkiller stuff (november), lack of strategic life planning, lack of big thinking, but can’t seriously expect that stuff from non-LWers.
It is plausible that their wisdom is mostly in-field. Though the field of “working in an engineering startup” is pretty broad.
