Published 3 years ago?? I thought he was commenting on whats going on now...
I think a great example of my issue with this is my father and I. He taught me the basics and got me to the Adv Beginner stage which allowed me to progress on my own. However, I chose web and he stayed with .NET for a long time. Only after a lot of pushing he started doing web like 5-6 years ago.
I, an expert beginner at the time (and probably still), thought I was way better than my dad. How could this guy not be better than me already? No answers to my questions. etc. In hindsight, yea I was better but his experience meant he learned things I never did cause I never knew I need them. HE also knew things from his several decades of experience that let him think through problems or only accept a certain level of quality in his work that let him solve and deliver things much better than what I can/could.
That said, we argued a lot about things. A father and son like us can have those debates, some times a little too heated, and be okay. But, if I was hiring I would be cautious (not opposed) about brining on people who would be too opposed to the way things are. The problem is that we (humans) avoid conflict and begin to play politics. If they don't avoid the conflict then we have open hostility. Either way, groups start forming a them/us mentality takes hold instead of the company working as a whole. Thats basically my general fear if I was in a position to hire. Thats what I feel "bad culture fit" would mean.
