- oaw-bct-ar-bamf 5y agoFrom personal experience there is 1 "senior" person (>5 years ) that has to support ~6 freshers.
- ectopod 5y agoThere would be far more experienced software engineers than brand new ones if the field was stable, but it has been growing exponentially for years. The answer to the original question depends on the rate of growth, how you define more experienced, etc. So it's not obviously true or false.
- bregma 5y ago> it has been growing exponentially for years Hardly. At best it can be described by a second-order differential equation. An experienced engineer would avoid the inappropriate term 'exponential' to describe the phenomenon. The rest is true.
