I'm pretty sure he means "can make great things happen" trumps "7 years Java experience on the resume"

  30 years experience doesn't mean much if it's the same year thirty times.

    I'm going to use this quote in the future because it's so true. Hope you don't mind the attribution "a wise man once said [...]"

      I stole it from someone else. maybe "a stupid thief once said [...]"

    It's a good idea in general for small values of x: x years experience doesn't mean much if it's the same year x times Probably true for x < 3 and often true for x < 7. On the other hand, a person still using the same coding skills they had in 1981 probably writes damn tight efficient code...or is a God of COBOL .
