I love that there are somehow authorities on tech that realistically they could have 1-2 years experience with tops. It’s the reverse of the “seeking coder with 10 years of experience in a 2 year old language” meme.

I've been building what's called ai agents since gpt3 came out. There are plenty of other people who did the same thing. That's five years now. If you can't be an expert after 5 years then there is no such thing as experts.

Of course agents is now a buzzword that means nothing so there is that.

5 years is barely a beginner in lots of fields.

More to the point, it's a field where we're constantly told that our experiences from a month ago are in no way relevant and that the latest thing is fundamentally different to what we know. Should expertise degrade just as quickly?

Yes. The worst company I worked for was the one that allowed the guy who was a programming expert from like 30 years ago to make all important decisions.
