I wish I could downvote this. Maybe the guy went to Stanford or MIT. Maybe his Ruby work is available on Github and is solid. Maybe he did an independent project that showed remarkable creativity and drive. There are any number of reasons his resume could be "very impressive" with only 3 years under his belt. Don't be a dick.

You're the one who wants to downvote me.

I didn't say anything offensive, just asking a question.

Learn the difference between other people saying something offensive and yourself implying some offensive meaning into a neutral statement.

Well it is not the years but what you do in those that matters. I hope parent comments doesn't means 1 year experience repeated for years.

Given that Rails started 9 years ago, and the whole fad with JS frameworks nowadays, I'd imagine 3 years exp could land you a mid-level job.
