I've gotten a "beginner's perspective" actually from another senior engineer which had been more curious about new technologies and their evolution than me.
In my example, I've dismissed for many years the utility css / tailwind paradigm just because I had a suboptimal experience when this stack was in its infancy. Receiving this pointer and looking again showed me just how much it evolved and how what used to be serious pain points now had elegant solutions and best practices baked in.
If it weren't for the pointer to my blind spot I wouldn't have looked again out of my own initiative.
Mutual respect between colleagues is such an asset to make growth happen.
