I can't completely buy it, only because I'm sure there are still companies or projects out there who need somebody with a decade's worth of low-level programming experience. Okay, maybe you can't make tons of money doing Rails CRUD apps because a trained seal could do that, but a trained seal couldn't write complicated C++ code.
My point, I suppose, is that your experience must still count for something within certain domains. Right? Or am I wrong on that, too?
- timr 17y agoSure, depth of experience counts for something. The problem is that the deeper you go, the less of an ecosystem there is to support you.
- HeyLaughingBoy 17y agoDamn straight! The outfit I work for builds medical instrumentation and you can bet your butt that experience counts a huge amount. It's also getting harder to find people with recent C++ development on their resume. I think you'll find that in industries where safety & reliability is critical, experience is always a great benefit for the applicant.
