That may be right, but smart companies don't hire someone, who got stuck
somewhere and only knows that little niche, even if he knows it inside out.
Smart employers hire people who bring new ideas, new skills and show the
ability to adapt to a new environment quickly.
Smart companies train their employees and let them constantly learn new
skills (and pay them decent salaries as well).
Dinosaurs became extinct, because they couldn't adapt to a rapidly
changing world.
That's why you call some people 'dinosaurs', not because they are over
55 like myself.
If you work for an end user company for more than 5 years, you most
likely already lost touch with what is going on in rest of the world.
After 20 years with the same outfit (probably also still running the
same software as 20 years ago) you become unemployable.
And in today's climate, no job is save.

around long enough to learn their business logic.

Oh and one of these days you are going to be sitting in the same seat
talking about the good old days too, and someone is going to be telling
you
that you're a dinosaur. It's not easy trying to keep up with the
technology
and if your company isn't using it you tend to gravitate toward what they
do
use.

Not me Jerry, I usually don't stay long enough for that to happen.
If there's nothing new to learn I move on.
