The catch, I suspect, lies in knowing how much runway you have to develop someone. The person needs a month to learn a language and framework? Sure, that's workable. Needs a year? Maybe not.
- jschwartzi 12y agoThe real question is whether that person can produce usable work output while they're learning. The framework that takes a year to learn because it's composed of 12 parts that would each take a month to master is still equivalent to the other framework that takes a month to master, because your employee can be producing useful work output within a month either way. If your 12-part framework is useless until fully mastered, then you should probably pick a different framework.
