- flavio81 9y agoAgree. My experience is that an experienced (7-10 years experience) developer can do 8x the throughput of a junior developer.
- busterarm 9y agoI don't really use years experience as a metric. We hired a guy with 7 years experience to be our Lead Frontend dev and he basically built nothing usable for 4 months before we fired him. He made twice as much as me but my title was still Jr at the time. He didn't add a single piece of infrastructure to make his workload easier. My boss and I threw out all of his work, split it up and got it done in a month. 7 years of experience can very easily end up being 7 years of 1st year experience. I want to see some kind of scale in their responsibilities/accomplishments. There are some junior-experience people out there with the potential to get a lot done right now.
- _e 9y agoI stand corrected. Reflecting on my own experience you are absolutely right.
