I have found that it is usually easier to hire brilliant people than experienced people.
Experienced people know exactly how things should be done. They've seen it work before, whereas brilliant people don't know what's impossible. So they do it anyway.
Experienced people protect their reputation, whereas brilliant people protect their curiosity.
Yes, brilliant people break things. They make mistakes that someone with experience would avoid. But those mistakes teach them faster than any certification course.
Give me someone who solved complex problems in college, built random projects for fun, or taught themselves three programming languages because they were bored. I'll take that over someone who managed similar teams for a decade.
Experience tells you what worked yesterday. Brilliance figures out what works tomorrow.
हुनर-मंदों को तजुर्बात की क्या हाजत है
जो फितरत में हो वो इल्म किताबों में नहीं
(The talented don't need experiences; what's in nature isn't found in books)
