The best explanation that I found was:

"с гадами приходит отрицательный опыт, а с годами, в которые не встречались гады - положительный."

Throbert - гАдами in this context originally can be understood as a word гОдами with an orphoraphy mistake (an unstressed wovel in the root). The joke is that these two words can be separate lexical units.

I do think you get it, but anyway:

The joke is how a single letter subverts a well known maxim. What was "You gather your experience with years passing" becomes "You gather your experience with meeting nasty people". Can't we all relate to that?
