IT years are similar to dog years, an IT year is multiple normal human years, so 14 IT years is certainly IT decades.

THAT'S how I'm supposed to get ten years of experience in a five year old technology

STEP 1: find company run by idiots

STEP 2: get them to give me a remote job

STEP 3: barely work at all

STEP 4: get second remote job and collect 2 paychecks
