Skills rot too. Any company may let us go at any moment, for reasons that might be entirely outside our control. Any developer should have a plan for this and it has to involve keeping one's skills reasonably current. In my experience this has been extremely difficult to do while sticking with a single company for an extended amount of time. Though certainly it can be possible, I don't think it's the norm.
