Do not make the mistake of the craftsman who claims to have 20 years of experience, but in truth only has 1 year of experience repeated 20 times.
My middle school English teacher had 4 decades of experience writing. What she wrote was lesson plans. That doesn't make her Stephen King.
Kenneth Copeland has been a pastor for 50 years and his theology and pastoral practice is still terrible. Years of experience is not a useful metric when you could instead look at results.
Software is results driven, there's no value in simply warming a seat for X YOE, talking about code instead of actually executing.
What has he shipped, though?
Are there large code bases that he has written that we know anything about?
