I totally get where you are coming from. I should clarify that historically, all of my new hires were pretty much fresh out of school, or transitioning to software dev from other roles.

If I hired a dev with significant experience, I don't think I would use the same process, aside from knowledge gaps.

I definitely have received negative feedback on processes that are in place, and I welcome that, because if something can be done better, or more efficiently - then we should change it. Flexibility is key.
