Re: Professionalism = Knowledge First, Experience Last

Baka naman kasi doctor turned programmer yung author na yan. Pag doctor ka,
"RuntimeErrors" are BAD. Lolz!  "Learning from mistakes" is BAD. I think
inde masyado maganda yung analogy nya.

Also, as mentioned by most of those who generally disagree with this
article, there are other conceptual skills that you just can't read up on.
Skills like conflict management (between people), how to boost morale, how
to approach a problem, office politics, making tough decisions, etc.

I think that interviews should focus on both aspects (technical and
conceptual). Maybe certain job requirements require 3 yrs experience para
inde na kailangan turuan yung developer ng certain practices.  (Generally)
Malaking difference yung code and practices ng fresh grad at 3 yrs exp, as
we all know naman.

Its a balance. You wouldn't want to put a seasoned developer with 10yrs
experience in a developer position that a fresh grad could fill.

In conclusion, I generally disagree with what the author is saying in the
article.
