Very well state Tom and I appreciate it.

I also have like experience to what you have. And that experience has shown me that there is a point where the understanding of IT theory and science take priority over syntax and punctuation, and logic becomes the language and the code is just a dialect. At that point languages can be learned quickly. Should we pay people like this what they are worth, or should we pay them the same as the first year grad from Junior College?

And conversely, should we pay the more experienced employee who has given up ten years ago and is working for rocking chair money the same as we would the second year employee with a degree from MIT in Computer Engineering who is all but performing miracles?

Appreciate the question Steve!
