> It just don't make no sense. Other fields reward grayhairs. You see some sixty-year-old painter or architect or carpenter, you think he's probably pretty good. You see some straight-out-of-college twenty-something in . . . any other field, you think, "I sure hope he knows what he's doing."

It still works this way in tech. When you need someone who knows what the hell they're doing, you're going to consider hiring a consultant, and you're likely going to get one of those same grayhairs.
