That is fair.
You'll notice the people that consider themselves top performers that responded to this post lean towards moving on rather than doing primarily maintenance work for years on end. I've seen similar sentiments echoed by others, hence the distinction.
- sbov 9y agoSome people are starters. Some are finishers. Some are maintainers. Few are good at all 3. Most people seem to label fast starters as "top performers". But you can be a "top performer" in any category. However, I would claim that if you never do maintenance work, you don't really know if what you're writing is crap.
- AFNobody 9y agoI agree with you on that last bit as I'm basically a sysadmin/dev that gets stuck maintaining the systems when "top performers" move on to the next project. ;)
