Everything you described is just standard engineering practice. I've always found it funny how software developers call themselves "engineers" while working nothing like them. So true. But when you have a culture and an industry where 2 years ia a long tenure at a company and a long lifecycle for the latest faddish "framework" or whatever, it's impossible. I'd love to stay somewhere 10+ years and work on a single significant application the whole time. But it seems to be impossible to find such a gig. Experience is generally undervalued throughout our entire industry.
