>Basically, they are damaged goods who aren't expected to thrive in a better environment? He's probably generalizing for the sake of writing, but you can get some really lazy positions that really can rot your skills if you don't drive yourself. We're talking about companies that barely need more than for-loops and if-statements and some CRUD. If you try to go from that to a fast-paced startup then I agree you're chances of thriving are going to be much lower. You have to absorb all of the startup's knowledge in addition to not having enough technical skills "in cache".

> We're talking about companies that barely need more than for-loops and if-statements and some CRUD. This is 99.9% of all companies, including startups. How many companies need developers to write a new sorting algorithm that is 15ms faster?

  Few, but there are plenty that would benefit from an event sourcing model over a CRUD one, or that would benefit from thinking and implementing business logic as functions with their inputs and outputs rather than procedures with their loops and branches.
