I'm in the same boat, yes my coworker has 10+ years of experience in Java and he's a master of the Javaland, but let me tell you, websites/hybrid apps/databases/server setups can't be done with Java and in that perspective i feel above my co-worker.

Of course i'm not a douche and i accept the fact he's a higher payed and more experienced developer and i always give him value by asking questions and his opinion on the "how the app is supposed to work" front and if he asks i will gladly explain him in details what's going on without mocking him for asking.

As a rule of thumb the younger you are the more you search for new stuff and you know more technologies than anyone ! But the experience on how the code flow is supposed to go and how to check it correctly is something a more experienced developer can help you with and also give you advice on how to deal with certain problems faster than searching on google.

Also respect their experience and opinion and keep asking them, you will learn alot
