I still consider this when hiring. I don't necessarily see a 10 year tenancy as major bonus points but do consider a flurry of short full time gigs to be a red flag. It's not about loyalty so much as that often it can take 6+ months to really get productive amongst an existing codebase and culture. That's also the point where the developer might really start to drive on more intense projects. If they're always leaving before this point that's great for them but not so much for us.
