I've seen 10+ year engineers grow at the same pace as 3-year engineers. I think this generalization is too broad.

- cornel_io 5y agoI'm talking about improvement on a percentage basis, not absolute: even if your productivity is improving linearly at 1 awesomeness-point per year, your fractional improvement ("% awesomeness gain per year") is going to trail off over time, which means where you are when hired really does matter more the more experienced you get. Based on informal observation, most (not all) good engineers tend to improve slightly sub-linearly, so it's even more tilted.
