And you are correct.
The issue is that there are very people who have walked this floor already, and many are already in the building (company) walking the floor. So, if you can find people who have already walked this floor, great, they may be better.
But, if you want access to a larger pool, then the next best is people who:
1) know how to walk and have been walking for years, and
2) have walked on many floors so that you can have confidence that they can walk this particular floor.

- Chris_Newton 5y agoI imagine there must be roles in the programming world that are specialised enough for this to be true. However, at least in my own experience, it is mostly general programming ability and/or domain-specific knowledge that set one developer apart from another in the speed and quality of their work. Both of those take time to acquire and have value accordingly, but they are highly transferrable across specific tools. Soft skills also matter alongside the technical ones, and much more so as seniority increases, but it’s the same story there. I can’t immediately think of a field of programming where hands-on knowledge of specific technologies matters more than these other factors.
