Vast majority of people can't do job-hopping. Not everyone is a software developer.

Even if you are, seeing your ever increasing "track record" should be alarming to every new employer.

Track record? I don’t really think we are supposed to work continuously to 70 when our bodies are completely busted. What good is traveling then when your body hurts?

Plenty of non software developers take breaks. The van life folks in particular. It requires a substantial sacrifice.

A lot of people in tech jump jobs every few years anyway, right? What does it matter if you take a break for a trip?

"Track record? I don’t really think we are supposed to work continuously to 70 when our bodies are completely busted."

I agree, but the track record I was thinking of is the number of companies you worked for previously. Not the years spent working.
