After working for a while I realize how hopelessly outdated the concept "years of experience" is. It's so easy to spend years on a job and learn absolutely nothing.

There's actually some s/w eng research that shows no correlation between years of experience and programmer productivity!

Sorry, what I wrote was too simplistic. The authors find that the impact of papers has a low correlation with the number of papers and impact is independent of when you publish (so close to zero auto-correlation). Streaks of great publications are often luck (or a sign of high Q)
