It actually is. A year of experience is not equal at different companies.

You could spend years writing very little code and have “years of experience” in a language, and you can also output intense volumes of work and still be within a year.

Of those two people, the one who spent less real time but produced more work, can have the equivalent experience of the person who spent years.

The key is to figure out how much work a person using Claude Code would have been expected to produce in 10 years, then find a way to do that much in a single year. Boom, you just solved the years of experience problem.
