I think you're missing the point. From the article:
> We ran circles around competitors who had teams of B and C players with security expertise but little else going for them.
He feels experience is negative (I'm guessing) because the experienced candidates only have experience. It is implied that they have no other team skills - just their knowledge of the area. It doesn't matter if you hire the world's foremost expert; if they don't mesh with your team, everyone is going to have a bad time.
- quantumhobbit 10y agoThen experience isn't a negative. It is merely insufficient without other requirements like team compatability. But all other things being equal are you still suggesting that experience is a negative?
- noxToken 10y agoNo. I never said experience is a negative, but I can see how it was implied. I understand where he's coming from, because there are people who are stuck in their ways. That's not an experience issue - that's a people issue.
- quantumhobbit 10y agoNo problem. I reread your first reply and I think we agree. I've met plenty devs who believe their 10 repeated years of the same experience entitles them to shout down younger devs. Problem is, now that I am older I really don't want to be stereotyped as one of those dinosaurs.
