Huh, it's strange that he phrased it as "1 year of experience 10 times" - I've only heard this phrase to refer to people with long tenures who don't get to learn anything new over the years.
- djohnston 4y agoThat's interesting, I've never heard it with longer tenures because people tend to leave if they aren't getting promotions, growing responsibilities, etc. If someone's stays in the same place for 10 years with no growth I'd love to analyse that gig.
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 4y agoYou see similar phenomena with long-term contractors (who jump projects all the time) - they are brought in with no agency in the project, get handed something to implement, they do it in move on. Sure they have experience implementing something others have designed, but that's just a small slice of software engineering. Although I agree it's not common to use that particular phrase with this situation.
