Really liked Jon talking about the importance of experience in development. I just wanted to add that it’s also important to consider experience on the system. Even the most talented developers will need time to find their feet if they’ve only worked with a system for a few months.

So don’t treat developers as replaceable resources! If you fire an experienced team because you found some cheaper bums on seats elsewhere, you’ll usually pay the price!
