Hot take: the trend in silicon valley is to hire young, but as a 21 year old hacker dasher, I think people undervalue the old experienced wizards.

An example I can give is for @heyconstella,  I can build really well crafted and designed features fast but the problem is there so many edge cases that even with 10 years of coding I can't think of, but someone with 20 yrs could.

Not just that, but since I'm a hyper dasher, someone who balances me by being more subtle and taking time to investigate things thoroughly would be a major advance. Of course, I test things thoroughly myself, I'm being a bit humble here (which is also lacking in SV lol)

Hiring more hacker dashers would increase the speed in the short run, but this short run is like 2 weeks of time. For any sustainable project, you need strong bindings in place between all your components with no leaks.

All this reminds me of the power of Sherlock Holmes... who was 50+ years old in the books!
