I've seen this on Reddit a fair bit too but there's this sort of anti "10x-er" attitude. It makes logical sense to me that if someone spends more time practising a skill, then they would be more proficient and thus worth paying more. Yet there's a lot of pushback against that thought process because it is biased or something. Obviously there's more to a candidate than purely 'coding' skill but I find it weird that a company would want to explicitly avoid an indicator of time spent honing skill X purely because it discredits other people. I guess in an idealistic world it makes sense but the real world never quite lives up to the ideals.
