"Years of experience" has been a gold standard hiring requirement since forever.
It's a terrible one.
Someone can do something for years and have nothing to show for it.
Seek people with "Years of evidence" instead.
People with deep examples of work. Piles of stuff they've made. An overflowing collection of output they're proud to share.
If someone's brand new in their formal career, they might have little traditional experience, but if someone's been loving this kind of work for a long time, there's a good chance they already have a collection of hobby projects or other literal examples of their work they can't wait to show off.
Titles, tenure, and paths don’t matter. The work does. Always look at the work. It's the truth.

Lovely live demo of Dyson's new Fluffycones (awesome name!) by JAMES DYSON himself. Brilliant anti-hair solution, too. Love the execution. Fun, colorful, functional, and clever.

When you encounter a simpler system, a simpler idea, or a simpler implementation, you have an opportunity.
You can say "it's not enough, it doesn't have, it wouldn't work". That’s the common reflexive response.
Or you can reflect. “What is it about how we work that prevents us from using such a simple, succinct system?” “How did we get so twisted, so tangled, so dependent on so much that we can’t seem to get anywhere otherwise?”
Depending on more can often mean being able to do less.
Turning back can be getting ahead.
Downshift.
