Let's say that Kubernetes is 15 years old - just for the discussion.
Why did they land on the number 12? How much difference does 12 years yield, compared to 10? or 8?
When I see these somewhat arbitrary large numbers of years, I can't help but think that the laws of diminishing returns start to kick in.
Maybe instead of years, they should look at the actual work and experience people have done. Instead, use seniority levels.
- bibinou 6y agoI'm guessing 12 years is intended as a proxy for a seniority level.
- rv-de 6y agoThey should just write "a dozen". I have a dozen years of experience with this and that ...
- awesome_dude 6y agoIt's the fault of the "Outliers" book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_(book) The argument was that all you needed to become an expert was 10,000 hours. It's since been debunked, though, but HR is a little behind in... EVERY EFFING RELEVANT THING
- DebtDeflation 6y agoSince there are 2080 work-hours in a year (40 hours/week * 52 weeks/year) wouldn't that translate to roughly 5 years experience? But yeah, agree on HR.
