Devs get ping-pong tables because they can be bought off in other ways besides money because they are naive.
I loved your comment about "max out wealth" because that is the underlying truth to all of this--you get maybe 30 years to make as much money as possible and that's it!
- dustinmoris 9y agoAgreed, this is really the best summary "you get maybe 30 years to make as much money as possible and that's it"
- daemin 9y agoAnd if you think about it, moving every 2 years is 15 different companies. If you stay a bit longer at the ones you like, say 5 years, then that's 6 companies in your employable lifetime. To put it another way you have 5-10 big projects that you can do in your (employable) life. (I think Jeff Atwood said something like that before). This is of course for people that value what they do at work and want to make meaningful impact professionally in their lives. For other people family is much more important so it doesn't matter if they don't min/max the projects they work on.
