The article is a bit ironic. It apparently talks about people who don't learn and don't change but suggests to them to just go and "find a new profession"...
A new grad, compared to a 10 year veteran :D. Yes sure, it levels the playing field, totally. As if language and frameworks would mean anything. I don't even want to know what kind of "veterans" would compare to a new grad. If you are worth anything at what you are doing, you would kick any smaller team of new grads out of the park, even when working alone, in a language you don't know and with a framework you don't know. New grads essentially know nothing about software engineering, nada...
It's baffling to me how any company would think otherwise. Perhaps they should review their hiring policies then.
