Most people leave their bosses and not their jobs. The inverse is also true. My last job as a programmer was not so great but I stayed there for many years because my boss was quite great and supportive. Now, I run a tech recruitment consultancy and if programmers come to me about changing jobs, in most cases the reason is the boss. Most programmers invest a lot of time in coding and related activities but neglect most other aspects of their career. This Ask HN is a proof of this.
