The years of experience fallacy

I’m sure you have, many times, seen recruitment for software development positions that expected candidates to have x number of years experience with a particular technology. Best if it’s a litany of technologies (ignore when they ask for 5 years with a technology that has only been out for 2). If you need a developer that’s what you do. If you’re a recruitment agent that’s all you can do (OK, with some exceptions).

Ultimately, employers who state such requirements make one fundamental mistake. They think the only factor limiting how quickly they create software is how quickly their developers can type.

Yes, if you have worked with NHibernate for 2 years you will write the mapping file more quickly and you might already know what fetch strategy to use. You will not, however, deliver good, valuable software more quickly. The speed at which you type has never been , is not, and I don’t think will ever be a limiting factor, ever. It’s like thinking Picasso would have created more works of art if only he could have made his brush strokes more quickly, or that Pollock would have made a bigger impact on the art world if he could pour paint more quickly. Wrong.

There are many other things to look for in a good developer (more on that another time perhaps) but for now, start with people who are smart and get things done not the ones who have experienced a specific technology for more years and thus can write the code for that technology more quickly.
