  Experience counts BUT the problem is that most ppl
don't understand why they do so. Using a hammer to
open a can is not a great tool to use. Being ignorant
is also a problem. I can imagine some ppl always using
the latest software or framework out there in the
market BUT the big issue is that DOES it really help?
I must admit that humans are habitual creatures BUT we
must always adapt to the surrounding environment.
