It's not news and I think it's fairly widely accepted, but there are plenty of corollaries that people still reject. I had a coworker who was actively hostile to the practice of writing documentation, for instance. He wasn't up front about it but he was plainly doing it to reduce his disposability. I think it probably worked because they kept him around longer than they clearly wanted to in spite of his very prickly personality. As a strategy I thought it actually made a decent amount of sense given his circumstances - lots of debt/outgoings, he couldn't hop jobs easily and the company treated employees as extra disposable. As the developer who came after him I was perplexed at the cries online people would make that "this practice only hurts the developer who comes after you" or "if the company does well you'll do well" (which I think is bullshit). It definitely made me a LOT slower, but I still got paid the same.
