yes very interesting take indeed, sometimes it is worth knowing also if your stack is too complicated that you truly need someone already trained, I have had that situation where I entered a job where I already knew the stack but the code was organized in a way with so many opinions that took me longer to understand and follow them in order to make meaningful contributions
the staff developer had very narrow experience doing software and made almost everything he wanted in a "library" way or in a "micro service" way until he got bored and started doing mono repos
because of this the CEO or founder, had a very bad impression on hiring and of course it was unrealistically to hire someone who had experience in the stack and in dealing with the ego of a lone wolf programmer which I believe can be as high as a Hollywood artist some times
