That's why I'm always wary of people who hardly ever seem to stay anywhere more than a couple of years.

There's valuable learning (and empathy too) in having to see your own decisions and creations through their whole lifecycle. Understanding how tech debt comes to be, what tradeoffs were involved and how they came to bite later. Which ideas turned out to be bad in hindsight through the lens of the people making them at the time.

Rather than just painting the previous crowd as incompetent while simultaneously making worse decisions you'll never experience the consequences of.

Moving on every 18-24 months leaves you with a potentially false impression of your own skills/wisdom.
