This has been a long-running debate among developers. The consensus seems to average about 3 to 4 years. Too short and you get a reputation as a jumper, so you get skipped over by HR. Staying too long reduces the number of different ideas and organizations you get experience with.
If it's a great org, maybe stay longer than 3 years, and if it's a crap-farm, shorter.
I prefer it when people get listened to based on the quality of their arguments.
Unfortunately, office politics often overpowers this. One example among many:
Me: "We don't need microservices for the vast majority of our applications because the command structure of this organization is very hierarchical and don't prefer sharing services across groups over the longer term. If you tie them to another group, they'll get angry over dependencies that otherwise wouldn't be there. [Examples given relevant to the org]. Nor do we have enough users to take advantage of their scaling ability, and these microservices are creating about 4x more code than necessary."
Pro-Microservices-Dude: "But we can become ambassadors-of-service-sharing. When they see how how great it works, they'll accept it."
Me: "And if they don't?"
PMD: "If it doesn't work out, then so be it. Don't be afraid of trying new things."
Me: "These apps are harder to maintain with all those layers; we are stuck with their complexity for a while. It's not easy to undo."
PMD: "Just get used to it, it won't kill ya. Our Microsoft representative says they are the future."
Me: "The MS rep wants us to make it easier to nickle-and-dime ourselves with MS services; that's why they push microservices. They don't care about our productivity, they only want a ticket into our wallet."
Anyhow, we are stuck with that crap now because PMD out-ranks me, so those who side with me don't want to anger PMD.
the original company is gone entirely. But the customers don't immediately leave. The contracts remain, so they collect the money that the old company collected and pay for maintenance work on the products.
Wasn't this the Computer Associates model a decade or two ago? The products usually shrank in market-share after purchase, and CA's reputation eventually caught up with them. I smell another hit-and-run gimmick.
The countries you mentioned have recently seceded from the Soviet Union and are still getting their democracy sea legs. It's premature to characterize them in a general way.
which are designed to compensate struggling news publishers
While in general I really don't like Trump, it would be satisfying in a primal way if he told their news orgs, "Get with the times you loser luddites and stop interfering with US companies!". He scratches the itch of the inner caveman.
since she signed off that she received the training
Incorrect. She attended a briefing, NOT the "full" class. She signed off on the briefing, but the briefing is not the same as the course. (Whether the briefing covered security markings and outside email service approval procedures is not known.)
I agree. There appears to be a bigger pattern going on: many brick-and-mortar stores are closing. I don't know if it will increase total unemployment, but it will be disruptive to millions of people, especially older people who have difficulty changing careers due to agism etc.
It's argued the "Digital Revolution" is (or will be) as disruptive to society as the industrial revolution was. Somebody who had been farming for 3 decades had difficulty changing into a factory worker. Nobody really knows where the "new jobs" will be to replace the many lost to the The Web and factory bots.
Trump is a symptom of this displacement anxiety. However, he blames it on outsiders instead of the real cause: tech-driven change.
"Unicode mangling" mangled the quote. Here's a cleaned version:
As one Twitter user pointed out, calling the BFS a starship is technically inaccurate unless the craft is sent on a mission to another star system. Musk quickly responded that later versions of the Starship will be capable of doing so, although he has previously said that the craft is intended as an "interplanetary transport system" capable of travelling to "anywhere in the Solar System."

The existing ones are probably capable of launching small payloads out of the Solar System using some gravity "tricks" (think New Horizons with Jupiter). However, it takes hundreds of K years to reach any stars. "Interstellar" is relative to one's patience.
I didn't excuse her actions, I'm only saying you are guessing her thought process & motivations using insufficient information. We should value science, math, logic, and evidence here on Slashdot; not personal guesses.

I give that a 2% chance. He cannot change that org's anti-sharing culture. He can bullshit for 10 minutes, but not for 5 years.

No, she signed off on a briefing, not the full class. She didn't take the full class due to administrative lapses.

Sell them to climate change deniers. By their logic, it should be a nice deal.
Expect some firings among those who worked on the report.
They discovered covfefe!
Not. Our laws were vague. I didn't write them, I'm just the messenger.
We have a FICO score, they have a Make-Commies-Happy score.
They are trolling you, and it worked. Well done, Slashdot!
Name the star Abby, then we have Abby Norma.
Just tell them about Uranus and they'll stay away.
The countries you mentioned have recently seceded from the Soviet Union and are still getting their democracy sea legs. It's premature to characterize them in a general way.
They may have smaller houses; but on average they are healthier, live longer, have longer vacations, and better safety nets.
Maybe their trickle-down via regulation/taxes has something going for it. To them, there's more important things in life than "big toys".

As I mentioned elsewhere, that is NOT true. She attended a "briefing", not their formal class. She signed off on the briefing, not the formal class.
Sorry, you are a fake lawyer.

Yes, they should model private industry where all the perks, bloat, and golden parachutes go to the top instead.
He realized cuss-words are awkward as rocket names when he sobered up.
