You should be loyal to your craft, not to your employer.

You might have a job as a developer at some company that could get terminated at any time. Your skills and reputation remain irrespectively.



What about the loyal loom operators?


I am guessing some of those loom operators transitioned to mending and patching, and operating the new machines. Guessing we will do the same. Just not all of us will make it.


Yes so probably not a good idea to be loyal to craft, just be loyal to yourself


Transfer skills are important too.

I saw quite some Flash devs struggle after the iPhone release. Still, there were some that were good Devs that transitioned into other technologies.
