What I have learned over the years is that there's no experience to shortcut. For example, a Django developer might learn GTK in two weeks but their code won't be as polished as someone writing GTK applications for a decade. Conversely, I have seen Python code bases that are so much of a horror show that you'd question why someone would do such a stupid thing in first place? The thing is - they didn't do a stupid thing. They didn't know any better.
