Leaving Apple - Hackdot

I jumped around jobs A LOT when I was early in my career; 10 years into my career I hardly stayed at a job longer than 2 years.

There's something to be said for sticking with something long enough to see it through its lifecycle. In my case, I've been at my job for almost 9 years. You'd be surprised at the amount of novelty that comes with major refactors.

(That being said, it's finally time for me to change jobs.)

IMO: I think a good career has a healthy mix of both long and short stints.

I’ve made the same observation. It takes time for all of the implications of a choice (code or otherwise) to manifest themselves. And it’s these long term effects that make for valuable lessons.

I think the time it takes changes with the pace of development a company has.
