Don't get stuck

Read Original

The author recounts resigning from a web development job despite good relationships and an impending raise. The core reason was professional stagnation, using outdated technologies, and a lack of room for growth. The article critiques the high turnover of experienced developers as a failure of company investment, not a 'normal flow,' and reflects on the importance of continuous learning in a tech career.
