Market, and point in the career. If you've got 15-20 years of experience and you've never stayed somewhere more than 12-18 months, it's a very different scenario than someone with 5-6 years, even in SV.
It depends on the company and their needs. In the majority of cases, I would say this is a positive thing for your resume. If their goal is to hire someone for a specific position and they hope that person stays in that…
This matches my experiences, and I'm certainly no Distinguished Engineer, but as a PE I would still have relatively few options to work at a similar level and compensation if I was looking. Thankfully I'm quite happy…

Yep. Time still passes for photons, but, at a rate so insanely slow in comparison to how we view it. 10^18 years by our perspective would only be 3 years by the perspective of something traveling at the speed of light.…

Hey Brendan! Super exciting - I'm already updating some internal documentation to point people towards this :) When are we getting a Linux performance engineering book with all the bpf/bcc/bpftrace stuff in it?
