You bring up a good point. My counterpoints:
1. Decision fatigue
- A longer resume doesn't make the choice easier, it makes it harder because now I have more to compare and contrast more.
2. Half-life of knowledge
- I did computer vision about 5 years ago, but I leave it off my current resume because I know the field has changed so dramatically since I last did it that my knowledge of it is out of date.
- balabaster 9y agoThe half-life of knowledge is in the eye of the beholder. The field may have changed dramatically, the technology may have moved on. But much of what we know about how to design computer programs today hasn't changed as much as you think in 50 years. Frameworks have changed, architectures have changed, paradigms have remained very similar. Paradigms are the important part. Be as careful with what you choose to leave out as what you choose to include.
- maxxxxx 9y agoI think your comment about computer vision illustrates what's wrong with this industry. If you were able to do computer vision 5 years ago you should be able to get up to speed now. This attitude doesn't allow most of to build a decent resume but instead we have to chase the latest tech all the time and none of our experience counts. For example I would prefer someone who worked on a big complex web site ten years ago with the tools available then over someone who has done a simple web site with the latest React version.
