I agree, there is a lot of context that comes with experience. However two things remain true:

1. Experience without knowing the latest stack is useless for a pure developer role.

2. Leaning into the deep memory of past failures is more consistent with a technical lead, which is one of the "other" growth paths.

You can learn a "stack" in a month or three. Hard to acquire experience at a rate higher than one day per day.
