I did not advice anyone to stay at a company for two years. And I wouldn't advice anything that drastical based on a short HN text and some vague interpretation of what op is up for.

IF someone is unchallenged as you imply I'd say a good first step would be to talk to your superior before following a generic "change company every two years" advice for no reason.

I also wasn’t implying you should change jobs after two years. I was saying you probably shouldn’t change jobs in less than two years.

There are switching costs to changing jobs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17796166), but statistically, job switchers make more than people who stay (https://www.fastcompany.com/3055035/you-should-plan-on-switc...)
