This is a very interesting project that I will be following; but I can't agree with this sentiment. Experience is a foundation of any skill and programming is no different. This argument could be applied to essentially any profession that requires experience to be competent in. I think that it's better to look at the issue from another angle; the speed at which programming is evolving. If omniref were to pose themselves as a venue to simplify the act of learning new concepts and tools, that I can get behind.

As you point out, the speed at which programming is evolving makes maintaining relevant experience difficult for a human, which makes programming at least different in degree from other professions. The ultimate goal is to build a hive mind able to effectively share the current relevant experience to address both problems, getting up to speed, keeping pace and ultimately being productive easier.
