[autotune]

It's not that I just like money as well, it's that there is usually something I find irredeemable about the tech stack, product, or coworkers that causes me to subconsciously launch myself out of the job. Even when I consciously value potential stability that a lifelong gig would offer.

Yep. I remember starting a job and immediately looking for something else because the tech stack was basically a 10 year old dumpster fire. When I say old, this was basically like using Python 2.x or Java 6 in 2022. I'd log on to production servers and they'd have 1000+ day uptime because literally nothing had been upgraded. (And no, they definitely weren't doing any sort of live patching.) The dev environment was so fragile, you couldn't even run it on a machine with a modern OS. They had to buy used Macs off of Ebay.
