Would you hire a surgeon who had only 143 days of experience?
Just think about what you would expect of a teacher who had 143 days of experience to teach your child. Doesn't sound like a sound deal to me. Perhaps you would consider a physician working with you as the patient with 143 days of experience in internal medicine. I doubt you would even think of this...
