yes Russell, As a senior system engineer leading a team of elite UNIX/Network/ Security people "back in the day" and trying to build up my team, during hiring there was always a chasm between those with scaled experience and those who play with development, and smaller use cases. I hired folks who showed the potential to learn from the more experienced ones, and those who displayed a genuine 360 view and interest of what the business actually needed. You don't get experience on scaling without literally doing it, but you can work on simulations of scale and throughput.
