Experience != expertise

Lots of companies want you to have experience. They require years of experience with X technology, but those years don’t translate to expertise.

I’m writing this newsletter early because I’m traveling. If you’re a new subscriber I use a comment each week to raise awareness about the Ukraine war. Assuming it has not ended in the past 11 days—which would be awesome if it peacefully ended—it is still happening and people are still dying.
