Don’t “Hire by Keyword”

Then experience isn't a negative. It is merely insufficient without other requirements like team compatability.

But all other things being equal are you still suggesting that experience is a negative?

No. I never said experience is a negative, but I can see how it was implied. I understand where he's coming from, because there are people who are stuck in their ways. That's not an experience issue - that's a people issue.

No problem. I reread your first reply and I think we agree. I've met plenty devs who believe their 10 repeated years of the same experience entitles them to shout down younger devs.

Problem is, now that I am older I really don't want to be stereotyped as one of those dinosaurs.
