Oh I should be clear that this person is absolutely a problem. They’re far less effective at their job, don’t learn for long after the question is asked, and the value they bring to the team is, in some ways, less than a fairly young person. And yet they’re paid more because “experience”.

I have the same thing in my field(architecture and structural engineering firms) as a technologist. People who refuse to learn new skills with the software constantly hold back people willing to put in the effort.
