Employment 2.0

I love the employment curves in this article, especially the unskilled developer curve. On the skilled side, I can relate to the feeling of hitting an apex at which you feel like you've given all you can to a given position or group.

In particular I endorse the culture of creating alumni out of employees, where people are expected to outgrow but still love their former companies and colleagues. Alumni might come back, or they might simply refer other great talents to go there and contribute.
