and as another spin on Scott's point... it can get to the stage where any ol' monkey can code...
but those that can code within well thought out designs/patterns, creating code that is easy to maintain, is robust and secure and has a future past the next pay check... so that's where maybe the 3+ years kick in - enough experiance maintaining a project and saying "damn! I'll never code like that again..." learning from programming books - hundreds of dollars courses teaching programming - thousands of dollars school of hard knocks - priceless.... my 2c barry.b > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott > Barnes > Sent: Tuesday, 28 June 2005 9:50 AM > To: CFAussie Mailing List > Subject: [cfaussie] RE: Why "minimum 3 years experience" ? > > > > Year 3 : By this stage your either stale and been working > in the same place > > for 3 years doing the same stuff and havent really > developed your skills > > much more than you had last year, worked for a hand full of > people expanding > > your skills or given up. > > I'm on two minds about the 3rd point. > > Its easy to start a project, but its hard to finish and then support > that project post its completion.
