Hardly anyone makes it to a single decade, much less multiple. Maybe at a law firm, but not in a development role.
I’m guessing you’re a webdev and this is normal for that industry but in more “traditional” fields programmers behave much more like other white-collar workers. I’ve met plenty with 20-30 year stunts at the same company.
- oarabbus_ 6y agoI used to work in medical devices, where I saw more along the lines of what you're referring to. But while you'd occasionally see 10+ year stints, "multiple decades" was still rare. Regardless, the number of developers at these companies is much fewer than in tech; therefore, they cannot be setting the equilibrium referred to by OP.
