Software engineers, at least in my experience, tend to do things right as much as they can, and then quit when their work gets sabotaged, but they get rehired elsewhere because there are still jobs available, and that's how they become "job hoppers".
I worked in IT for a hospital subcontractor, and I got my team of engineers to cut down time for the main thing we did from a 4 day turnover to one where it could be done in 20 minutes, with much fewer problems and errors as well.
My team got laid off immediately after this, and our new systems canned, as the new CTO would rather outsource the existing error-prone 4 day process to India as he could take credit for that.
What I'm saying is that most of my peers feel our responsibility and try to act on it, but those of my peers that don't tend to have longer tenures and less stressful lives.
That's not true. If you want to know what's wrong with most of the products you buy, most of the services you use, most of the economy in general, it's Wall Street and the stock market. That is all there is to it.
