I don't think that it even is in senior developers' self-interest to claim that their skillset is infinite transferable, as it has the very obvious corollary that their skillset is worthless. The whole idea is much more appealing to the business side who wants to pretend that developers are fungible.
- jonas21 5y agoQuite the opposite. If skills are infinitely transferrable, then the skill level of a developer is a function of time they have spent in the field. This makes a senior developer extremely valuable because they will always be more qualified for any job than someone more junior than them and there is a limited (and shrinking) number of people who are at their skill level or higher. (to be clear, I don't believe that skills are infinitely transferrable)
