Older coders/technical folks tend to have more wisdom than raw compute (relative to younger coders who may have more raw compute than distilled wisdom.) Wisdom takes a more reliable and more efficient path than raw compute.

Both raw compute and wisdom will be eventually replaced by AI, but "deep wisdom" is largely held in the body, in the way we react viscerally to things, which AI as it is envisioned today does not factor in at all. So we still have a refuge in the wisdom stored in our body memory.

As an older developer who lately has been pairing with early career developers, I've been noticing lately how often wisdom comes into play. It feels like close to a daily occurrence where I suggest something is the cause, then later I'm asked how I knew that was the right thing to investigate, and the only response I have is that it's almost always the culprit.
