"Experience" is always tricky to define; is a part-time job "experience"? Is spending 20 hours/week on free open source stuff "experience"? I definitely spent an insane amount of time programming all sorts of stuff that don't count a experience in the classic CV sense, but that I did learn a lot of things from. I've also known people that have been in the same job for years and don't seem to learn a thing. So idk.
At any rate, I updated it to 15 now; which is job experience + 2 (soon + 1, when it's 2021), which seems more than fair. I should probably rewrite this tagline entirely.
I see this A LOT as of late. People are counting high school side projects as real world experience... but that is not exactly the same as on the job experience. I am NOT knocking the awesome work you did in high school, hell, as an EE person, I could say I designed circuits when I was 12, but I would never add 10 years to my CV or my blog by counting it.
Honest question: is this the new norm?
