Do you have 10 years experience, or do you have 1 years experience repeated 10 times? I feel like the article and the hype cycle push us towards the latter rather than the former. Which is awkward because that seems like a good, concise definition of expert beginner: someone that has 1 years experience repeated 10 times. Of course, it can pay well to be certain kinds of expert beginners.

I feel like there has to be a balance. Only working for one company for a long time is not good either.

I haven't found a person who never left for 20 years who was hella good at their job yet. I know there must be some though.
