It’s hard to explain now, but in the old days it mattered. Sometimes software was written by employees just because they wanted to, because they thought it was a good idea, and it wasn’t planned and organized and ticketed and budgeted and scheduled.

And sometimes it saved the company.

Employment for life is long gone. People with good skills are best off applying their abilities to their own projects. The company will not save you, why should you save the company?
