While the blog post is well-intentioned in its message, I can't imagine why it resonates much with the author because their professional history seems to indicate that they've never been at a job for more than a year. This isn't an ad-hominem and I'm not trying to say you need to be a faithful old fart at a company for decades to reach the rank of a technical fellow; but there's something to be said for barely being around to learning the problem space let alone having a deep impact. Seems to me a high ranking technical leader should have the experience of influencing, aligning and leading large teams on complex cross-vertical projects. Some of these things take months to design with key stakeholders, launch and finally "land". And that doesn't include the phase where you learn from said projects.
