Whether you have a single year of experience 10 times (or whatever ratio you experience) is orthogonal to whether you work for the same company.
Being employed as a programmer may or may not gain you new experience (which is what matters if you are to be a good generalist). Whether it does depends on whether you are _doing things new to you_ while being employed.
Doing new things is experience. Repetition in one area is also experience. This concept you're describing is just made up.
Sorry, no. What you have just described is being a generalist vs a specialist.
Also, all concepts are “made up”. By definition.

Sorry, no. Those concepts are unrelated to what we're describing.

I was trying to be polite. Made up by you and nonsensical, is the more accurate phrasing. Respectfully. But I'll be stopping here. Enjoy the day!
