I don't think we should necessarily celebrate people continuing to do the same thing over a long period of time. Humans like to grow and experience a variety of things. Change is good. You have 11 lifetimes:

- ghaff 5y agoPerhaps but 1.) People can grow and change within a single organization, especially given that they're not spending a lot of time to learn a new place and 2.) We also shouldn't celebrate people because they jump around every 18 months when something isn't going quite their way or they've gotten bored.
- munificent 5y agoSure but in this case, the person was there 10 years, so (2) doesn't seem to apply.
- ghaff 5y agoOh certainly, 10 years is a very respectable tenure with an organization. That's been around the point where, at a couple of prior jobs, I was definitely ready to move on.
- mastazi 5y agomy biological clock seems to be 4 or 5 years max in an organisation and about 10 years max in a given career (sw development is my third "career" so to speak, what I did before was completely unrelated; I'm already planning the next endeavour which is only tangentially related to "tech")
