> on us as developers for creating a culture that encourages constant company hopping

lol. It's not like _us developers_ like the stress of interviewing every 2years. It's just that we know that we're undervalued and underpaid and have the luxury to prepare for job hopping. It's a matter of _fair_ talent retention, not of _developer encouraging a culture of company hopping_ (???). Or give me example to change my mind, maybe I've not understood what you meant by that.

That culture goes both ways, and more on the companies in my opinion. Why would anyone stay more than a couple years when there's no path for advancement and raises don't remotely keep up with the market?
