If your staff engineers are doing extremely similar work as your junior engineers, you've either got garbage staff engineers or you're criminally abusing your juniors. It shouldn't be surprising that a developer with a couple decades of real experience work differently and have different areas of focus than someone fresh out of college. This isn't saying that every dev with 20 years of experience is significantly better than fresh out of college devs. But it's crazy to ignore the different experience can make.
- orwin 3y agoI think better terms should be describing general expert/domain expert/company expert. I'll say it takes 3 to 18 months to become a domain expert at a company depending on the scope, if you are fresh out of school. Less if you already have relevant experience. And then years to become company/subject expert, and those you have to pay to keep them.
