No we need to stop evaluating people based on years of experience as if it's the same as substance of time. OK. Two people with five years of experience not the same thing. One will do the bare minimum and one will get thrown in the lines then leaving things they had no business leading. Coming out sharper than people with double their experience. I know five-year-olds smarter than people I've worked with. Years of experience take that shit off of resumes it's outdated.
