Software is a line of work that has astounding amounts of autonomy, if you compare it to working in almost anything else.

My point stands, company loyalty tallies up to very little when you’re looking for your next job; no interviewer will care much to hear of how you stood firm, and ignored the siren song of tech and practices that were more modern than the one you were handed down (the tech and practices they’re hiring for).

The moment that reverses, I will start advising people not to skill up, as it will look bad in their resumes.
