Hmm, reduced half-life . . . sounds like a 'bad thing' to me ?

Sorry, I should have better described what I meant by that. First check out the following definition...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life_of_knowledge

​The more languages/technologies (knowledge) a person has to know, the more time they have to spend keeping up to date because technologies are constantly evolving.​

Future IT dept hires should focus on an individual's desire and ability to learn new technologies and not whether they are a fit for your current technology stack.​
