Why is that a developer's problem? If anything, they are incentivized to avoid creating future competition in the job market.

It's not a problem for the senior dev directly, but maybe down the road. And it definitely is a problem for the company once said senior dev leaves or retires.

Seriously, long term thinking went out the window long time ago, didn't it?

  • No, long term thinking didn't go out the window.

    It is definitely a problem for the company. How is it a problem for the senior dev at any point?

    What incentive do they have to aid the company at the expense of their own *long term* career prospects?
